VR Precision Motor problem

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

VR Precision Motor problem

Hi Guys,

My precision motor "switch box" has an interference when going from 33 to 45 rpm, most of the times doesn't work on 45 and sometimes it works, will try to clean it with some type deoxit spray I have to clean contacts, think its the button that switches from 33 to 45 (but not sure), will also try to replace that switch button but posting here before to know if someone had a similar problem or knows a solution?

Also looking for thicker rubber belts to use with precision motor + precision plate, if anyone has any tips drop a line! im searching for 320mm but still haven't found the right ones.

Thanks and happy holidays to all fellow cutters!

Update: cleaned it all with some deoxit type spray and then with isopropyl on a cotton swab and its working as it should, the button was a bit stuck before and when moving it to the 45 rpm side the speed was not "activated", found the switch pot and the same rubber belts just not thicker ones, will keep on looking. Case closed! Happy holydays ;)
