Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable


The platter on my Immedia RP2 won’t turn after placing the toggle switch to the play position.  Where is the most likely source of the problem:

- power supply toggle switch is defective

- power supply not providing power to the turntable

- motor in the turntable no longer operating

- belt broken


Does anyone know how to open up the Immedia RPM2 turntable to gain access to the motor and belt?  I’m staring at the turntable and am perplexed how it even opens up. 
 

Also I believe I have several new belts somewhere but can’t find them.  Does anyone know how I can acquire a new belt if I need one?

Does anyone know how to repair an Immedia RPM2 to turntable and change the belt. 
 

I’m new to Audiogon.  Forgive my ignorance in addressing audio related questions.

I think you can buy it from another on line source for $5. Same thing happened to me with VE.

I was not meaning to criticize you in any way.  I was only pointing out the readily available source of information, which would be the owners manual.  That's the place to start. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, then perhaps is the time to ask for outside help.  You might also post an inquiry on Vinyl Asylum.  There are many graybeards there with esoteric knowledge.

The Immedia RPM2 owners manual is available for free on Vinyl Engine.  All you have to do is join VE in order to access a copy, which is also free. In addition, in photos of the RPM2, the belt is plainly visible encircling the platter. The motor seems to be hidden from view by a shroud which is just for cosmetic purposes. It ought to be evident just from inspection how to remove that "roof" over the actual motor assembly. What's the problem?
