How to fix sharp rp-302 turntable not turning
For many years i have enjoyed my grandparents' 80s- era sharp record player without a problem.
I last used it about 5 months ago then moved house about 2 months ago. It was a smooth move, nothing got bumped around.
I plugged it in today and the play button on the turntable front edge, 3rd from right, doesn't click into position? The turntable also doesnt start spinning
The cue button on the furthest right (lifts/lowers) works fine clicking into position. The cut button second from right doesn't seem to work, but then it probably wouldn't unless the arm was in playing postion.
From what I've read online for general turntable troubleshooting, I think most likely explanation is something to do with power to the whole system? Secpn thiught is the turntable motor? But i don't know what to try doing next to sort it out.
Thanks in advance!
