PCB boards

100% agree with you two. Yes I have the correct DC walk wart , yes I have been looking on internet for he parts from the identifying markings I can locate, found a motor but it is made of what looks like cheap plastic. Not sure if I want to use that just yet. Fluance does a motor , now I am waitng for them to call or reply back on the board . I been researching this as well with no luck . Found a few that look similar but not certain it would work same size, connectors, inputs, outputs some were cheap and others sky high.. so at least I think I’m at standstill  Like I stated , I’m clueless on this deep of knowledge with electronics. The board has voltage to it , but that’s it , no voltage to motor , I have not yet bench tested the motor since there is no current going to it figured I could eliminate that’s as the issue .  The board has many surface parts that I have no clue what they are . Cannot find for now no paper trail of schematics on it . .    I’ll be back to update on  my findings if I fix or throw in the trash .... I doubt I’ll be doing the latter.  If I get stumped I’ll pack it’s way for a rainy day and start over again..and who knows by then the market could be overwhelmed with the parts I may or may not need .. only time will tell.. and I have more time than money ...People have no patience anymore and just  must have an endless supply of disposable income to be touch and toss with electronics nowadays... it is truly a lost talent that faded with the advancement of technology.. a true art form .. unless it is super vintage high dollar . 99.9999999% of shops won’t touch it .. and it sucks !!! Again thanks for everyone’ s current and future  input 

MC makes a good point, though odds are it may still end up in the trash unless you have the tools, time and knowledge.


I highly doubt Fluance makes this turntable themselves. They likely source it. It could be the same control board that is in a similar turntable at a similar price. Size and knob positions looks the same as the Audio Technica turntables with integrated pre-amp.   I don't know if they make it themselves, or again sub-contract.

++1 MC.

Well have you tried the obvious, call Fluance?

If you strike out there- Table that cheap, they probably use some off the shelf power supply circuit for the motor. Many circuit boards have identifiers printed on them somewhere. Look around see what you can find, do a search. I have done this with other stuff, my most heroic effort being to save a $200 Cuisinart coffee maker by finding a 99 cent plastic part on-line. 

Then if you still can't find it, basically all that thing does anyway is power the motor. So look at the motor. AC or DC? Any identifiers on the motor? Same process. Then once you know the motor, well all it needs is power. Could be your answer is as simple as hook it up to a DC wall wart, maybe with a trim pot or something. Probably more to it than that. Point is, there is a process. You work your way through the process. 

Why? Because that way you get something out of it. What you learn on this applies to everything. You can pay $150 for a part to fix a $50 turntable and learn nothing, or you can figure out how to fix this and acquire thousands of dollars worth of practical skills and knowledge.

This is what people miss when they say throw it in the dumpster. Ignore such people. You will get nowhere following them. You want to save it, save it. Totally worthwhile project. It all depends on how you look at it.

I get it and understand. But hate to see it in the trash just trying to salvage it.  Already  been looking on eBay, oak tree, reverb ...etc.  no luck just seeing if anyone has other avenues.

thanks for your reply!

It's a $200 turntable it's probably a throwaway if it's broken. Maybe you can find one on eBay and use it for parts.
