Record Player
How do I adjust the speed on an old record player?
I have a Columbia 360 record player from the 1950's and it plays records a bit too slowly. The 33 rpm speed needs to be adjusted a bit. Is there an internal adjustment dial or screw that will do this on old record players?
The first answer about lubricating things is good, but it is probably the drive wheel to the platter (that's what most had then). It could probably use a new drive wheel, but that's going to be difficult to find. It is probably slipping, because the rubber is hard or the turntable is corroded.
If it's not corroded, then you might try a very light sanding with very fine sand paper or an emery board to rough up the rubber very slightly. You don't want to take off a lot of the rubber, because then the diameter will be so far off that it will never work. Just enough to unglaze the surface and get something that feels like rubber again.
Also, there is a spring that presses the wheel to the motor drive and the turntable. It's possible that the spring is sprung and needs to be replaced. Again, this will be difficult, because it was originally tuned for just the right amount of pressure to run properly. There may be some adjustment there -- you'll just have to check it out.
I played with some old turntables back in high school and these are some of the things I ran into.

The Beauty of Old Records & Vintage Music
I was probably nine years old when I heard my first record. It was Nat King Cole’s ‘Just one of those things’ and my grandmother had it playing while she was sewing. I remember thinking that it sounded so different from other music I heard. At that time, I thought it sounded horrible. I asked my grandmother why she listened to music that sounded scratchy and crackly when she had a cd player that played great music. She told me then that just because the newer music was clearer did not mean that it was better. A few years later I found an old record player in our basement and decided to plug it in and try it out. My mom had a bunch of records in a box downstairs, but few interested me. I grabbed Cat Stevens Greatest Hits and headed up to my room. Once I got the record cleaned up (it had gotten a little moldy in the basement!) I set the needle down and started listening to an original version of Matthew and Son. I had that album on cd, and thought that it was great-until I heard it on record. I was so amazed by how deep and exciting the song sounded! The trumpets seemed to jump right out at you and every note that Stevens played sounded more and more beautiful. For the first time I was able to close my eyes and imagine what it would be like to watch the artist in person. It was at that moment that I developed a love for Cat Stevens, but also for the experience of listening to records. Since that time I have acquired three record players and close to a hundred records. Some were one dollar at the local Goodwill, others were collectors editions I had to search to find-but each one has meaning to me. Each one takes me away to a particular time or place, whether it be in my grandmothers sewing room when I was nine years old, or a dance when I was in middle school. Now that I am older I am so grateful to my grandmother for introducing me to records and for sharing with me the experiences that come along with hearing a priceless one.
