hi, i hope someone can help me on this
i have a pioneer PL516 turntable that's stop spinning,
only on 33 speed and not on 45 speed, sometimes i can get it to spin again if i go back and forth with the pitch control knob or it will start up again on it's own
pitch is dead on and i have not cleaned the speed pot yet
i have lubed the spindles replaced the belt and can play 45 records all day long
platter spins freely by hand, has anyone had this problem?

A service manual is available for download from the Vinyl Engine site:

Go ahead and clean the speed pot. That may fix it, and it should be done anyway.
It's unlikely to be worn out, so give it a good cleaning.
Don't use too much cleaner, just use a little and switch it back and forth 10 times or so.
Repeat until it works reliably.
