Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?

@msale - I want to thank you, again for writing out those directions for cleaning the turntable. I finally got to it last night. OMGosh, I went through 10 or so Q-Tips in cleaning it out. But it's good now, and after I put the fresh lubricant on...

@mswale thank you! Great, easy, simple directions. Fantastic. You've helped me to up my game, and I appreciate it. I will do all of this as soon as the lube I ordered arrives. Will be here in a day or two. You rock!

@jeffreylee   Why is having a Pro-Ject TT a primary issue? Are they known for not lasting long? They have universally excellent reviews, so not sure why you’re making that statement.

@yogiboy - interesting piece of gear there! thank you. Not sure how long I'll stick w/ this current turntable and what I may replace it with, but good to know that there's a solution for fully manual ones.

Yes, once I removed the belt, I could see the spindle that the belt sits on moving. So - lift the platter, nothing's moving. Remove the belt, see the spindle moving. Put the belt back on, spindle, belt, and inner platter are all moving. Put the o...

I didn't think there was a problem, necessarily, but it was suggested on this forum that replacing it might help since the original was getting old. So I went with that and got a new one.  
My Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable died...what to do?
Telling me to Lube the Motor  -  do you want to tell me exactly how to do that w/ my specific unit? What to use, how much, where and how to do it?
