This methold could cost you nothing and is very accurate. You'll need two pieces of tape (use a type that leaves no residue) and a stop watch/timer. Place one piece of tape on the platter and the other on the plinth. Place a record on the platter, start the turntable and use the tape markers to count the platter's rotation. In 3 minutes you should count exactly 100 revolutions. For even greater accuracy count for 6 or 9 minutes, or even longer. It's tedious, but it works.
strobe light question
I have a Oracle Delphi MK II
It has 2 screws in the back for 33rpm and 45 rpm.
Is the 33 rpm actually 33 1/3 rpm?
I want to check the speed to make sure its dead on.
Is there a commercial product strobe light like auto mechanics use that would work?
It seems it may be cheaper to buy one of these.I dont want to spend alot to check the speed once.
