У проигрывателя Audio-Technica AT-LP140XP плавает скорость в сторону уменьшения

The speed may be decreasing on the Audio Technica AT-LP140XP turntable because the quartz lock is engaged. When quartz lock is on, the pitch slider has no effect. To enable variable pitch control and allow speed adjustment, depress the quartz button to disengage quartz lock. The LED next to the pitch slider should turn off when quartz lock is disengaged.
