I didn't read your comment on the dinplug in your last comment, but have just removed the dinplug. When I did, I noticed the din-holder is a bit wobbly, causing some friction /movement in the dinholder. So I removed the dinplug and now I get totally different readings;
1. - 13.82
2. - 13.11
3. - 1.24 (when green dial is at 0), 2.41 (when green dial is at 30), 4.44 (when green dial is at 60), 6.44 (when green dial is at 100). (all steady readings)
@SueDenim When I remove the shorting phono plug it reads: 12.48 at measuringpoint 3.
I've then replaced the dinplug in the holder, putting something under the dinplug to make sure the dinholder makes a proper metal to metal contact.
But then I again receive a reading of 0.27 only (at measuringpoint 3) (steady reading this time). It doesn't matter if I turn the green dial, it remains at 0.27. This corresponds with the sound of the motor: very faint.
Is it possible the motor died from the friction of the Dinholder?
Can I check with my multimeter if the motor is dead or not, by measuring it somewhere? If yes, can you tell me on which points at the motor I should measure?
(I opened the rear end of the metal bar, exposing the points where the -/+ wires connect to the motor; see photo)
