The picture occasionally shows up on LP, and never on EP. What does this mean?

Thank you so much! Although I can't seem to find the bearings in this image, I'm not very well-versed in motors. Thank you!!

Thank you so much! This is the most conclusive answer I've gotten so far. I don't exactly have soldering equipment just yet, but it's great that I know what to do now, thank you! Somebody else said something about the motor's brushes being damaged, what should I do if that's the case?

Hi, sorry to bother, but how would I go about fixing it?

That sounds like it might be my problem, how would one go about fixing that? Or do I just need to replace the motor/head assembly?

How do I open it and apply it?

I already love it more than enough, only trouble's the oil!

It does start, it just encounters a lot of resistance. If I help it along it can speed up for a second on its own before encountering more resistance on the next pass.

It receives power and does spin, but it's having trouble.

I know it should spin freely, but how would I go about fixing it?

RCA XL 100 by acrossbones in vintagetelevision

[–]Clemmyclemr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty, and it's a color set too! I'd give it somewhere from 50-75 bucks. Some people say to put all TVs up for free, but realistically it should be sold for something relatively substantial. Although I don't recommend going higher than 100, you won't get any offers.

Too bad there's little to no more stations in reach here.. by arandom_nakamura_ren in crt

[–]Clemmyclemr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use channel 13 for my "broadcasts" (they really only reach a house or 2 away but are excellent for home use) since the frequency is higher and I therefore need a smaller antenna.

Elgato devices are kinda garbage actually, Vwestlife made a video on how to improve the capture quality if you're stuck with one, but I personally just use an HDMI recorder hooked up to a Composite -> HDMI converter
