Mike, hello. I know its been 4 years almost but the video still helps people like me. I just figured it out how to make my machine slower. Thanks man, that's lot to me! As a musician and music lover, I couldn't buy any vinyl records because the fast play problem for 5 years. And now, it works really well. Again, thank you so much. So much love from Turkey ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Samet, I'm so glad my video was able to help get your record player back to the correct speed! It's an honor that my video has helped so many people from so many different places with a common love for the tunes and vinyl! Right on! Happy spinning :)

Thanks dude, want you to know that this video is still helping people in 2022! I've had this issue for a while, it's especially frustrating when you're listening to an album you know so well and it just sounds "off". I assumed it was the stylus or an issue I haven't had time to repair, so have lived with it. It differed in severity between records, but I was just listening to Coheed & Cambria's In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 and it was unbearable. The singer is already high pitched but my speed made it sound like pure helium...found your video, discovered I was at 35.44rpm, and adjusted to a perfect speed easily. Now I'm looking forward to going back and listening to new records I've only heard on vinyl, and hearing their correct pitch!

Thank you! I HAD attempted to do this before with a strobe, and I got the speed fairly close, but it was a little fast. Was pleased to see this video to remind me what to do. This time I used an app. The big problem is actually finding the screw slot to pop the screwdriver into. Probably took me 45 minutes to sort. Initial attempts, we unsuccessful, since it became obvious I didn't find the slot! Then eventually I DID adjust it, but now it was too slow!. More attempts, back to too fast! EVENTUALLY I got is spot on! Compared playing a vinly track in sync with the same track on Spotify. They were IN SYNC! Phew!!

I just wanted to offter thanks for this video... I was also about 10 minutes away from buying a whole new turntable, before seeing this tutorial. Mine went from playing "normal" to somewhere between 34-35RPM out of the blue one day. Using this tutorial (and some of the comments), I was able to get it to around 33.5 or so after a LOT of work. I was at this for at least a half an hour before I found the "sweet spot" where it actually changed the speed. I had to use a "jewelers" flathead, and push VERY hard, while also turning the screwdriver VERY hard. They purposely made this physically difficult to do by accident, but once there, it just takes a very subtle turn (Left = Slower, Right = Faster). Thanks again!

You're welcome! Odd that your speed changed out of the blue - could be that your belt is starting to slip, but I'd bet you would notice other symptoms like increased wow and flutter if that were the case. At any rate, I'm glad you're keeping the vinyl spinnin'!

This helped a lot. I never would have imagined this was so readily resolvable. I used a 2.4mm precision driver, You have to press fairly firmly and twist to catch the screw slot through the rubber protector. Clockwise turn to increase speed, I cut about a 1/2 inch of toilet paper roll to use as a stand for the phone. That's important, because it allows you to place the phone over the center spindle. My adjustments took about ten minutes, and I got to a reading of 33.30. The sound has been restored to virtually normal. Thanks for the tip(s) ...

And thanks for that, glass kit screwdriver just the job

I noticed that my records were playing noticeably faster than Spotify so I tweaked this using this video. It's not easy. The adjustment is hard to find with a screwdriver. Initially it was at 33.6. Then you massively over compensate. Was down to 27rpm at one point. Then trying to get it spot on is very hard. An app on your phone helps. I found that 33.0 was spot on with my phone. This turntable has a bit of wow though as that is actually 32.9 to 33.1 although that isn't obvious in everyday use. I think they all do that. It's still ever so slightly faster but not enough to be an issue now. And I remember my dad's old ariston was a lot further out than I've made this.

Just want to make a quick callout that Mike has said in several people's comments, there is a black gummy-like cover over the screws, you have to really wiggle around carefully in there to find the exact point of the screw. I highly recommend doing it with half of the turntable hanging off a shelf/counter and adjusting with the meter running so you can track your changes.

I'm wondering if you know whether I can replace the stylus with a generic sony stylus or whether I need one specific to the model (PS-LX300 USB)? The ones marketed on ebay as specifically for that model are upwards of £30 which is a lot! Many thanks

Not sure if you're still responding to comments here since the video is kinda old but every time I tried sticking my flathead in and adjusting the speed it seemed to do nothing. just to make sure it is in the black foam area in the hole right? and is there any way to maybe tell where the screw is, as in which way it is facing, because I kept on feeling like I was turning it but I guess I wasn't.

@mikestech1119

It can be a little tricky to find the screw. It sits inside that black rubber piece. If memory serves correct it was a flathead screw. You'll need a pretty small screwdriver such like you'd find in an eyeglass repair kit as it is a pretty small screw. From what I remember, you'll feel the screwdriver drop down into the indent on the screw a tad bit. It's very easy to just turn air and not the screw without knowing it because of the rubber cover. Hopefully this helps; if not let me know and I'll try to explain further.

What screw driver are you using to adjust the speed? I'm trying to play my dad's old Grateful Dead records!

For some reason, this method worked on 33rpm but the 45rpm setting is locked to 60rpm. Doesn’t help that you can’t see the screws because of a foam covering.

@mikestech1119

This turntable has a fixed tracking force - there's no way to adjust it. If your needle is jumping around, it's likely you might have a worn/chipped needle. If you have more than around 500 hours on it, I'd suggest replacing it. You also could just have a few damaged records. If you think your turntable is tracking too lightly, you can get a relatively inexpensive scale on Amazon to measure the tracking force - should be around 3 grams if memory serves correct. I wouldn't suggest just increasing the tracking force unless you get a measurement on a scale, as too heavy a force can damage your albums, as well as drastically decrease the life of your needle. I know that was a lot, but hopefully you find it helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

You can say that again. There are multiple apps for turntable speed. That one was the only one that was free, aside from one other one that you had to print stuff in order to use.

I think I’m screwed. I fixed my 45rpm mode like this but can’t seem to get anything done about 33rpm. It’s stuck at 26 and I cannot change it either way… Edit: after working on it for a week I fixed it just after writing this comment. I had to press really, really hard. What I did this time, was literally press down from the top while I pressed up on the screwdriver to get more force. That did it!

I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Quality control around how these pots are put together seems to be pretty poor, considering the multitude of comments from folks with similar difficulties.

give it a little turn, i turn mine a little bit? which way ffs

this is totally rediculous, my Scott record player from the 80's that still works, has a strobe light on the side of the turntable with a simple dial that you turn, once the lights line up you're at exact correct speed. no need for a stupid phone app.

Agreed. Even better, my two Technics 'tables are Quartz locked, so no need to adjust the speed at all - ever. They both have strobes, and are always spot on. A dial such as you suggest and built-in strobe would be great addition, though would likely drive up the price a bit. I think Sony was going for an ultra-simple, reasonably cheap turntable, and they've done a pretty decent job.

Probably should have made the adjustment screws a bit more easy to access though and easier to fine tune. Never know if you've turned it. Then you over compensate
