I have a RT-909 with a 7.5 speed problem - way too slow...3.75 is fine, but 7.5 almost runs the same as 3.75. Help anyone? Very Happy

Mine did that too. It was a two-fold problem for me: The pinch roller was gummy and needed to be replaced. Check that - it's pretty common - If the roller feels tacky to the touch, it must be replaced. However, mine also needed an adjustment. I was lucky though - I'm told that the motors are fairly common failure modes and I'm not sure you can get those anymore. Do a search here for "Pioneer" because there are lots of posts about this unit.

Thanks, Wayne. I'll check the pinch rollers, but I think they are new. What kind of adjustment did yours need? I'm told by local repair that it is probably a problem on the DC board at a cost of $250.
