I recently purchased a very well working Silvertone, it stands about 4 ft tall with a cabinet and it's crank operated. I purchased new needles for it and the sound is good but I'm having trouble controlling the speed of the turn table. I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to crank it, if I need to let it completely run out after each listening, etc. I'm trying to treat this delicately and my fear is that I will over crank it and destroy some mechanism as a result. Right now it seems to run too fast when I begin the record and slows down way too low by the middle to end of the song.
In the lower right corner by the turn table there is a dial that reads fast to slow. But I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do with that option.
Can anyone give me any advice on how much I'm supposed to crank and how to control the speed of the record?
Like I said, this machine is in fantastic condition and I don't want to do anything that will cause unnecessary wear and tear on the components.
Thanks
