Hello All,
I have a Garrard 401 which was working fine, but yesterday when I switched it on it is not turning. The light comes on but it is not turning. When I increase the speed by moving the speed dial towards the plus sign it starts spinning but with a screeching sound and when I bring the knob back towards the middle it stops turning. I removed the platter and observed carefully, the speed adjustment arm which had a magnet on it is touching the spinning small disc is it supposed to because when I move the speed adjuster all the way to the right to the + sign the small arm moves across and over the small disc and the disc gets free and starts rotating but with some screeching sounds but as soon as I bring it back it jams the rotating disc. Below is the link to the video:

Any idea what could be wrong? Or, if or it can be home fixed. Btw I don't think there is anyone out here in pakistan who can fix these now.
Regards,
abdraffay.

, but I'm not an expert. ...My last Garrard TT (and only one) was 45 years ago.
