In Reply to: RE: Do you mean the platter and record together stop spinning, or posted by alaskahiatt on May 03, 2020 at 18:13:22
Yes, the record and the platter stop rotating once the vacuum tube touches the record.
But the record will rotate if the vacuum tube is up.
Nothing has changed. The vacuum tube height is fine and the spindle adapter is tightened as I usually do.
The day before there wasn't any problems. That's why I thought maybe it's the heat and low humidity causing a static charge?

that would include mechanical and electrical problems. Mechanical would be bearing lubrication, and I will let those members with electronic experience explain that side of the story.
On the other hand, take a look at the link below for a much easier solution to your problem. Good luck.
Thanks for your reply. Actually that's what I'm going to do today is check the platter screws. If I remember correctly, there are three.
Actually, my machine is 25 years old and didn't use it very much when I bought it. I had it in storage and started using it again late last year.
I'm hoping that one of the platter screws is loose which may be causing the issue, because that will be an easy fix.

I worked on it yesterday but didn't have a chance to test it. I will do so tomorrow.
Well I fixed the platter issue, but now the vacuum tube does not lift immediately after I turn off the switch and then only comes up just above the record.
I'm wondering if the spring is worn not allowing it to lift properly.
I'll see if I can locate the correct spring. I don't think I can buy it separately from VPI.
It may come as a unit with the vacuum tube holder, which I don't need.
If that doesn't correct the issue I'll just have to consider buying a new record cleaning machine
search reveals possible solutions for you. I searched with google using exactly your problem, and answers do come up.
Other things I thought of were a vacuum lock due to debris in the end of the vacuum tube, or a debris buildup between the inner and outer tubes of the suction tube assembly.
Thanks for the link, I will check it out now.
I clean the vacuum tubes thoroughly after each use with a couple of rinse of distilled water and the drainage tube is clear, nothing clogging it up
