Basically, they guy I bought it from said at first there was a problem with the pitch; it was going slow then fast, slow then fast really, REALLY badly when it was playing - to the point of being unusable. Then when I got round there to buy it it wouldn't turn on at all, the red light wouldn't even come on the power switch. There is a faint red light behind the 33rpm button when the deck's plugged in, when you press the 45rpm button it lights up but goes out as soon as you let go.

I've got the other, working, 1200 mk2 and swapped the pitch faders across but nothing, and before I go any further (the only reason I've not so far is time more than anything) was wondering if anyone knows a most common thing to go with problems like this? I'm loathed to remove the whole motor as it looks like a pain in the arse to do, if there's something I'd be better off trying first which would be more likely and easy to replace I'd be grateful for any advice...
