Hi all, I have a Beogram 1700 that has started to behave strangely I would say, hoping that an expert on here may be able to point me in the correct direction before it’s laid to rest.. periodically for the past couple of months it has randomly sped up from 33 to 45 on its own and pressing pause has caused the needle to lift and then move erratically. Came to switch it on today and as soon as it is plugged in it spins up to 45, and none of the buttons are responsive at all. Can anyone help please?
thanks in advance

Cracked solder joints.Bad speed setting trimmers.Bad belt.Possibly also oxidated contacts or something spilt into the operation panel.
When it acts up, carefully guide the the tonearm to where the end-groove of a record would be and see if it willdo it's end-of record routine and stop.
