Ran a couple records with my new 16.5 yesterday. When I run the vacuum it overpowers the turntable and quits turning, unless I slightly push on the head of the tube holder. Is this normal when it's new?
make sure that the tube is turned all of the way forward or backward and not centered, the vac will stop the platter if centered. turn the tube till it stops on the pin.
Make sure the arm tube is turned a tiny bit clockwise in the arm tube holder, so when your vacuuming the opening angled slightly towards the back. You want the fabric riding on the lp. This may or maynot be your problem just a guess.
I have had 2 units, I know your issue is resolved but my second one shipped with one of the platter screws loose, if it ever happens, remove the small cork center cover gently then pull platter and tighten........5 minutes back in business.
