It ís actually easy to replace the belt on the plastic platter. On the reverse of the platter there is a plastic spigot that you hook the belt around.You then replace the platter and push it round manually until the belt engages on the motor.
I’m using the same tonearm and platter, but it seems like my table doesn’t have enough torque to spin with some of my records on it. Particularly “The Itchy” by Scratch poop. When I put that record on that platter with a butter rug the weight of the record and needle stop the record from spinning. Doesn’t seem to make a difference if I’m using batteries or the wall plug.
DJ Couch King I had this problem with a stock pt01 scratch and some 7s and I stacked two slipmats (butterrug on bottom, stock slipmat on top) seemed to help remedy it mostly.
Hello, my message is certainly two years late, but perhaps this could help other people. I just received my platter yesterday, and faced the same problem of low torque of my PT01. I was really disappointed. It appears that my Dr. Suzuki slipsheet under the slipmat stuck completely to the platter and the slipmat, making the motor stop turning when I hold the record. This was due to the static electricity. Today I used a record brush to clean the platter and the slipsheet to remove this static electricity: everything is working fine now. Perhaps also my belt was badly aligned when placed in the PT01.
I can understand how it would make it feel less like a toy, but how is the overall stabilization compared to just using a stabilizer ring under the OG platter? If there is enough noticeable difference in the amount of wiggle the platter has, this MIGHT be worth the money
Jared Maly I held out on buying one for months and was using the stabilizer ring. I eventually got rid of the ring because in order to get stabilization, you introduce friction. I didn't like the feeling of the platter rubbing on the ring. When I got the Solid cutz platter, it was night and day. Rock solid, and smooth without friction. I'm still amazed at how stable it is and should have gotten it months ago.
nice! but i always wondered how right handed scratchers scratch on the PT01. since the fader is on the right side, and if they try to scratch with their right hand, dont they hit the tonearm?
Hi I'm a right handed scratcher. It's actualy no promlem, but if you install a straight tonearm like the Bihari or the Jesse Dean, you can remove the pin so you can place the needle on the other side of the record. (se the PT01 tonearm mod.)
I just purchase mine and it’s slow as hell, its lagging and heavy. Just put my back OEM platter back on! I’m sending them back. I also bought one for my Reloop portable .
I haven't used mine for like 3 years plugged today and it is spinning very slow check the belt and seems ok but not very tight. Shall I just replace the belt? Also using a different power supply could that affect too? Thanks
Hello, can you please answer this question, I don't see anyone talking about the Rev 2 platter by Solid Cutz. It is the same but without all those grooves cut into the platter. Which I can assume is better for cutting since every one of those grooves causes friction which makes it less smooth than a solid flat platter. I was planning to purchase a metal platter for my pt01 but need to know if the most recent Rev 2 is better? Thanks.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have a few set-ups and several turntables and they all have different style platters and I have found that the smoothest ones are the ones with the less holes/grooves. With the same butter rugs and have tested my Tech 1200's and PLX1000's which have only 2 holes and are smooth which is nice when back spinning/cutting, my Numark TT500 has no holes but does have grooves that are specifically designed to reduce drag but I have found that the grooves actually cause friction, I agree it's a small amount of friction but enough to notice. I have a very light & sensitive hand and feel everything on the record, I even make my own slipmats. Anyway that's why I am curious if anyone has an answer. I mean Solid Cutz did go to a smooth solid platter for Rev 02.
Is it really to do 12 inches with Solid cutz? Does it matter if you have the REV01 or REV02? Also; do you need the extra STR 010 AXIS STABILISER? I have a platter stabilizing ring at the moment and tempting to buy the REV01 or 02(Don't know which 1 though) but I'd also love to still play 12 inch and scratch so what should I do?
I was getting around to making my own version of this but would have made it exactly the same as solid cutz have. Now I can be lazy and get this instead.
Just ordered mine from Open Format. Super psyched! Thanks for the review

Thanks! I'll try that!

The link doesn’t work for the power bank ? What can I look for , ?

What power bank are you using in this vid?

I cross my left hand over my right, just like Swift just did. It takes some getting used to.
Awesome! Glad to see new review videos!
The uk seems to have no shops that I know of were you can upgrade ?
What is that on the right? Roland Supreme? Eh? I'm confused! Help me understand what I'm looking at😑
Looks like a paper notebook to me (not sure tho)
Great video Swiftstyle! do you know why the speed of these platters is so uneven and how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

What’s the difference between the rev 01 and the plate x ?
I just purchase mine and it’s slow as hell, its lagging and heavy. Just put my back OEM platter back on! I’m sending them back. I also bought one for my Reloop portable .
Dopee! How do I get a hold of them loopers though??
the "tablist.net looper" app, search "looper 48".
$95.00 dang!!! Almost the price of a PT-01😫😖
Where can I buy the platter
I haven't used mine for like 3 years plugged today and it is spinning very slow check the belt and seems ok but not very tight. Shall I just replace the belt? Also using a different power supply could that affect too? Thanks
I would test the power supply first
Been trying to find that platter and their site is not working….
Nice video as always ! keep doing those
You left the platter stabilizer installed when you installed the aluminum platter. Do you still need the platter stabilizer?
Thats what ibwas thinking as well. Does the new platter make a difference with out the plastic stabilizer?
What did you use for the platter stabilizer? I was going to cut up my own plastic but wasn't sure if the thickness

steve schantz I dont think there will be a huge difference since the record is obviously flat. But this is a great question I will look more into this

Will this work on a Spinbox? Thanks
No, it won't fit the spinbox. maybe they will design one for the spinbox?!
Swiftstyle would be ideal since the platter on that table is pretty wobbly. Thanks Swift

how to do if im left hand please
....awesome ,thanks again for the Great Review',....Respect'
I was getting around to making my own version of this but would have made it exactly the same as solid cutz have.
Now I can be lazy and get this instead.
Thank you very much sir
the real upgrade here is the dj....
$80 tho jeeeeeeze lol
Michael Rulentlez bro I was thinking the sameeee thingggg. Mad exaggerators.
I love how you can buy a new tonearm and a platter and its already more than a pt 01 scratch^^
Bahahahahaha I hate the reality of that lol
It’s a niche market. They kinda got us portablists by the cajones.
Why the hell don’t they go direct drive motor that would be a upgrade
Dj Focus Style!!! He Did It First!!
SWEET!!
Dope!!
Hi
Normaldo!
without rev , there is no step🔌
