@PrankZabba The rare album too that you can play at any speed

@ralphbuttawitzonline ... that's what totally blew me away. it's the one album i have yet to see in a used record store, when i actually got money. that and The Million Year Picnic (and a couple 45's) are the only things i dont have of his. if your in toronto, i think he's playing a couple shows this year. it's listed on his webpage

I used to do this, but I didn't use any tape, I just put the belt onto the flange on the motor spindle and somehow it would stay there without comming off, just as long as I turned the turntable by hand first and then started the motor it would run just fine and I could play entire records that way.

@CoolDudeClem I tried that too and usually it went well, but then when playing another record, it would then come off.

i have that turntable

It's a terrific turntable, but I reccomend someting...DON'T USE THE USB, USE DIRECT INPUT FROM THE RCA. The USB causes a noise in the track

wait, did you say that album it playable at all 3 speeds? and any suggestions to taking it down to a 16rpm?

[ralphbuttawitzonline]

The only way to do so is modify the motor to slow it down to 16 RPM, but nothing simple like this.
