- Take platter off - Use fine grit sandpaper on idler wheel (just let it rotate into it) - Clean idler wheel with a q tip and a little alcohol - Clean inside of platter - Remove idler wheel from spindle (there's a little plastic clamp on it, you can push it off with a screwdriver) - Clean spindle with alcohol - Put a drop of simple bike chain oil on spindle - Clean inside of idler wheel - Put idler wheel back - Runs fine now. If it still has a hard time getting up to speed, remove a small section of the spring that pulls the idler wheel to the inside of the platter, for a little extra force. Literally a less than 10 minute job.
Sorry to be so late with my reply! I already went and serviced this unit before, but it sat unused for years when i made this video, haven't used it again since... Have to take it apart another time to do some good servicing when I get to it. The info you give is spot on on what I already did with the machine, it did work perfectly after that (and will as long as I keep using it from time to time).
I see the 45RPM adaptor is built in. Stays up until a large record is placed on it, gets pressed down flat by the weight fo the record, and then pops back up when the LP is removed. Very cool.
It's a very nice design feature indeed! No need to store (or lose) the adapter in this way. Though the adapter could use some greasing, sometimes it gets stuck on the shaft and I have to push it down with a bit of force. But given the age of the machine it is still in remarkable good shape (to add to this, it still plays on the original vacuum tubes).
Me neither until I bought one 😅 No, I knew about them because of players like this having a 16 rpm function, actually bought this record just to be able to use this player in it's 16 rpm setting
Make a video of playing the record at 45rpm. Then leave a message on how to use Audacity to slow the audio down to 16 2/3rds RPM. Make the 2 hour video down to about 45 minutes and would be the perfect way to archive the recording.
Hi Maximilian, can you perhaps fill in a contact form on my website (see link in description below video). TH-cam will most certainly not allow a full upload of this record without me getting a copyright strike.
@@tapehead-jeff Once I uploaded the complete audiobook and I never got a copyright strike. I've seen at least 7 videos with the complete audiobook here on TH-cam, and they're not blocked at all.

@@tapehead-jeff give it some hours to warm up, chances are it will fix itself :)

@@tapehead-jeff lose only has one O
@@sherryhannah498 you got me there, well at least the adapter is not loose in it's holder, so I won't lose it because of that. 🙂
Interesting. I never saw this kind of records.

Pensé que los discos de 16 rpm eran slo un proyecto que no dio resultados, pero igual alcanzaron a prensarse algunos ejemplares, por lo visto.

👏👏👏🇧🇷
I absolutely love these little Philips record players. The design is spot on 10/10 perfect
Yeah they sure have interesting design. Good quality sound too (with only one speaker) and yet it's very portable!

Can you upload the whole record please

@maximillianfischer8899 please is unnecessary and he can't upload the whole record he'd get a copyright strike sheesh do not ask again
@@tapehead-jeffthe fact you were able to upload this much of it without issue is enough for me to know you would not get a copyright strike.
