Sansui SR525, speed stable but fast

Huh, what is this fuzzy thing here? R018 1000038431.jpg. A quick check shows 1.1k across the R018 resistors.

Hmm. Seems like a false alarm, it's a speck of dust. Resistor and diode casing seems clean.

Hi, the Switches are Just mechanicaly connected to the 3 way selector!

I Just finished the repairing of my 525. Main Problem was the yellow powerswitch. In closed State it hat a Résistance of 800 Ohms.

Resultate Output voltage 17 and -4,7 Volts.
I removed the switch and shorten the two white wires for testing.
Testing process:
The 3 way selector in off postion.
Then Plug in.
The motor should Starts Running as fast as it could, because of no Speed regulation is activ . Voltage is 18 V and - 4,9 V .
Voltage messurament was done After i also replaced the 3 Elcos on the Power Board.

If you Switch to 33 or 45 it should reduce the Speed. If you Just testing the Motor without the plate , the Motor stutters in 33 or 45 Mode. That’s normal , the smooth Rotation Just came up with the Weight of the plate.
I found an simular Switch in my „grabbelkiste“. It‘s from an old Radio Flipclock, but i think you could them as New or NOS Part.
Replacing the 3 Elcos from the Power section should be a Good idea.

Good luck
Regards Tim

Yes after shorten the white wires I got the correct voltage. And After installing the New Power Switch i got the Same correct correct voltage as well. I think it’s Not Worth trying to repair the old yellow Switch.

Try getting a New one.
