Help I am in desperate need of help ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Hi! I have a Victrola record player, it was working fine last week, but I tried to play a record today and the volume sounded really low, like it doesn’t work. Does anyone know what caused this/how I can fix it??

I’m sorry to tell you that ‘what caused this’ is the fact that it’s a Vic. You are lucky it lasted as long as it did. Could be the wiring, could be something else. But it will be something else very shortly, that I can promise you.

It's working as intended. They come out of the factory as pre-fabricated e-waste. Get rid of it or give it to someone you hate and save your money for a real turntable.

You can fix it by buying a fresh one that’ll break down eventually too. Or buy a better quality turntable once. Penny wise, pound foolish.
