Hello,

I recently got a Radiola 603 turntable from the 60s-70s.
Unfortunately, it doesn't spin. The whole mechanism works, the arm places the tire under the platter, the system to switch from 78 to 33 RPM also works, but nothing else happens.
The speakers work on another turntable, but nothing happens when I connect them to the Radiola turntable.
I don't really know much about it, I opened the turntable but nothing seems damaged, disconnected, or in poor condition.
So I don't know what's going on.

Hoping that you can help me.
Sincerely
Aymeric

Good evening,
It is either a turntable where the speakers can be clipped on, or a mini system where the turntable has neither speakers nor amplifier.
If the platter doesn't turn, it's because the belt is broken (if there is a belt).
And what happens when you turn the platter by hand?

I also thought it might be a belt issue, but when I opened it, there wasn't one.
When I turn the platter by hand, it spins, but it still doesn't work.

So if there's no sound, it's that your thing is really sick
