Hi everyone! I'm new and like the title states, I'm on the hunt for info and help pertaining to the Kenwood PC-200u. My wife picked it up at an Estate sale she attended. When she got home we hit the web looking for info and come to find out, there isn't very much info to be found. We were hoping to find a date of manufacturing and troubleshooting threads. She was told that it didn't power on. When I gave it power it definitely powers on. I cycled the on/off/play selector twice to make sure its changing smoothly. After cycling the selector I noticed that the platter would move about 3in then stop when in the Play position. I'm not sure if there is a belt inside or how a rim drive works. I'm going to do more research on rim drives but wanted to go ahead and post on here because many minds are better than one! Thanks in advance!
