Atlas 0 turntable problem

i have the same issue, I found that if the motor is not perfectly placed this issue remains.  But just when I think I solved it, it returns.  a new belt might do it, sometimes it helped mine.

I don't know if this is the right way to solve the problem but it works for now.

I loosened the 4 screws for on the gear cover and motor mount.  I also loosened the large screw that holds the top unit to the base.  I loosened them just a tad.

The turntable works (at least for now).  But I am going to go back and try your solution as it seems like the better way to solve the problem.

I will let you know if I find a good solution.  I know that loosening screws is not a good solution.

Thanks,

That problem is usually caused by not having the table platform completely level.

If you have it screwed down to a table top it could be racked which then causes its much to weak drive system to bind.  Try adjusting those screws to rebalance it and then replace the flimsy rubberband that drives the table.

BTW, I had that problem myself. The table is a problematic PITA because the drive system is flimsy & weak . I added traction to its flimsy belt by rubbing a gel called "Magic Lube" on the rubberband. Its a sticky lube in a tube with teflon for use on swimming pool O rings. It ended the slipping rubberband problem.
