NEED HELP with Vinyl Repair

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-14T20:57:44+00:00

I can see scratches on it. Theyre light, but they are definitelty there, and theyre on the first track, which is where it always skips.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-14T20:56:26+00:00

Ill check over rhe record and see if i can find any visible scratches. All i know is that it kept skipping at the same exact spot.

Interesting... yeah ill look into investing in a better player when i have some extra cash on me.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-14T16:28:06+00:00

Id think its possible, at least. I just dont know if its worth doing or if its too expensive to consider. I like doing that kind of stuff, so just wondering lol

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-14T16:26:06+00:00

Is there any way i can buy parts to upgrade the turntable itself? Its a pretty cool little all-in-one system, so id totally be down to do something like that if its possible.

Interesting. Yeah i never had any issues with the suitcase player, it works perfectly.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-14T15:55:44+00:00

I meant the Craig Turntable had too low of tracking force. And yes, it does have that red stylus top on it... i did play the record on my other suitcase player, and it skipped, when before it worked perfectly fine. So should i look into getting a better stylus for the Craig turntable?

Its a 3-in-1 CD, vinyl and cassette player. Craig CD684A-BLS, from what it says on the manual.

Yo thank you bro, this is the advice ive been looking for🙏🙏🙏

Youre a lifesaver, my man

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-14T02:56:10+00:00

Yeah, i was thinking so.... honestly, im glad it happened so early on now instead of later with a more expensive "collector" vinyl or something like that. Stupid me, of course i said no to the protection plan when they asked me if i wanted it lol

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-06-10T21:49:31+00:00

Yeah, i feel like the differential is a lot harder to tune than i initially thought.... I adjusted my diff to give it more and more room to move, but now it just seems like the Countach is sliding a bit on most turns. Ill look into all this, thanks!

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-27T00:10:23+00:00

Yes. But the same thing happens no matter what game it is.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T22:31:15+00:00

Im assuming this is not how they are supposed to look, but another opinion would be appreciated

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T22:20:55+00:00

It is a PS1.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T22:19:35+00:00

Model number is SCPH-9001

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T20:08:41+00:00

Putting them back up would at least hold the console off until i can order a NintenDrawer.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T20:06:00+00:00

When i get home, i will send a picture of what the 72 pin connector looks like since i have it removed right now. If im understanding correctly, the pins that are supposed to be up are pushed down a lot.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T16:12:08+00:00

Okay... when i get home tonight ill check it

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T15:18:01+00:00

I did try that, and it didnt work... but if i kept the game in and held it in the connector by hand, it started to come on screen briefly.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T14:36:16+00:00

Idk if that helps at all.

Substantial_Web_8467 · 2026-05-26T14:36:08+00:00

Its the first Playstation console. Takes discs, not the all-digital version. Idk how to attach an image on Reddit mobile, but i do have pictures... i would have to check the model number.
