Akai AP-A200 speed uncontrolled

Antonio New member Username: Diabolik Portugal Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-09	Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 02:54 GMT I have an Akai AP-A200 turntable and now it have a speed problem. When is working the speed is uncontrolled, like full speed of the motor, no 33 1/3 or 45 rpm. The motor I think it is a direct drive one. I believe it's a problem with the speed sensor, but I don't know how this works in this kind of motors. Does anyone knows this problem and a possible solution? Where is the speed sensor on these motors? Thanks

The majority of direct drive tables are servo controlled. There's usually a capacitor that hah gone bad in the servo network that will need to be replaced. It's not a job for the inexperienced and you should take the table to a service center where a techinican can perform the repair. .

I have checked the two electrolytic capacitors in the Akai, both are ok. I change them anyway but still with uncontrolled speed. It have several ceramic capacitors, but I didn't change any of these. More ideias are welcome. Thanks.
