Hey guys, first time posting.
I recently bought a used Nikko Delta DL-1, and having some trouble troubleshooting. (The irony...)
I'm by no means an expert in this area, so looking for some ways to help me.
So far it seems to be running smoothly, but the spinning stops/is sporadic. As far as I can tell, it's automatic so no belts needed (Correct?), the needle and arm is moving as it should.
I can't find much online about that specific model, so hoping someone on here knows a thing or two about it. Before going to a repair shop or anything like that.
I've tried to blow some air, and it seemed to help a little bit, on the spinning but not enough to play records.
I'm also not sure on the audio output yet, could it be some loose connections, and how easy would it be to narrow them down without risking ruining it?

Thanks in advance.
-Stephan
