Using Diamond B reproducer on Triumph E

Post by edisonplayer »

I noticed something strange.The other evening I put my Diamond B reproducer in my Triumph to play Blue Amberols.There's flutter and wow when I use the B but not when I use my O reproducer.edisonplayer

Check and make sure the belt isn't slipping. The diamond B has a much heavier weight than the model O so the extra weight could be causing the belt to slip a little resulting in wow and flutter. There's no belt tensioner in a Triumph so the belt would be the first thing I would check.
Hope this helps

Although the Triumph lacks a belt tensioner, it has a belt tightener which the other models don't have, so if the belt is too loose it should be a quick and easy adjustment.

Are you playing the same Blue Amberol with both Reproducers?
