Why maintenance is important

Every record player consists of mechanical and electronic components that wear out or become dirty over time. Without regular maintenance, problems such as the following will inevitably arise:

  • Unstable speed
  • Poor sound or noise
  • Wear of needle and bearings
  • Malfunctions in switches or potentiometers

Timely maintenance prevents these problems and keeps your system reliable.

When is maintenance needed?

Are you unsure whether your record player needs maintenance? Look out for these signs:

  • You've been using your record player for years
  • The speed fluctuates or deviates
  • Sound quality is less clear
  • Buttons or switches are less responsive
  • The record player has been out of use for a long time
