I'd been mixing for a few hours and then bam- one of my decks stops spinning suddenly. The start/stop buttons do nothing and the platter is offering a lot of resistance when I push it. I disconnect the power, remove the platter and discover that the spindle won't move at all and motor is slightly hot to the touch.
The turntable in question is a Citronic PD-45 Ultima, a "super oem" turntable. I've been browsing the web for similar tales but I've come across nothing so far- does anyone have any idea what may have happened?
My current plan is to try and find a local repair shop but I'm not really looking forward to that... Sounds like it could get expensive rather quickly. I've swapped it out for a Technics 1210 mk2 for now so I can still mix at least.
