new guy seeking assistance
#17

Yup. Now I have a new problem. I bought it. It has two issues. And I don’t know much about this stuff, so forgive my naivety.

The -what I would call the “tensioner” wheel on the turntable has a tiny flat spot on the edge, so it kinda sounds like a metronome in the background when playing a record. Is there a replacement part for something like that?

The other is that can’t get much volume out of the unit at all right now, no sound at all out of the subwoofer, I obviously checked the wiring, but couldn’t find anything suspect. 

So I’m assuming something in the amplifier? All the tubes are lit up, but does that mean they’re all functional?
