hi, i hope someone can help me on this
i have a pioneer PL516 turntable that's stop spinning,
only on 33 speed and not on 45 speed, sometimes i can get it to spin again if i go back and forth with the pitch control knob or it will start up again on it's own
pitch is dead on and i have not cleaned the speed pot yet
i have lubed the spindles replaced the belt and can play 45 records all day long
platter spins freely by hand, has anyone had this problem?

A service manual is available for download from the Vinyl Engine site:
Pioneer PL-516 - Manual - 2-Speed Belt-Drive Turntable - Vinyl Engine

i have not cleaned the speed pot yet.
Go ahead and clean the speed pot. That may fix it, and it should be done anyway.
it's the 33,45 speed selector switch do think a cleaning will do it or replace the switch?
It's unlikely to be worn out, so give it a good cleaning.
Don't use too much cleaner, just use a little and switch it back and forth 10 times or so.
Repeat until it works reliably.
