  • PE 2038 Issues

    Hi all - Sorry for the post in English, but some other forums suggested I post about this here. I recently bought a PE 2038. It's in pretty good physical shape, but the automatic stop and start do not work. I've been fidgeting around with it for hours, but no luck. I've used deoxit and greased everything, so I do not think it's a problem of stuck grease. More seems like something's not catching properly.


    The manual start works decently well, but I also have to manually spin the record to get it to stop (I assume until it reaches the correct position underneath). It also looks like the ball bearing right underneath the spindle shaft might be partly broken off, and isn't turning the big cog plate underneath.


    Any help would be much appreciated! I didn't think converting the pictures to such a small size would do much help, so here are some pictures and a couple of videos to show what I'm talking about: https://www.flickr.com/gp/163750805@N08/Pz275s
