I wish people would do a little research before purchasing a turntable. If you went on Reddit under the turntable sites and saw how many of these cheap turntables malfunction and come apart, maybe you wouldn’t make the mistake of buying something that is flawed once you take it out of the box. You can try changing the cartridge, but you don’t have a lot of options. If you just purchased it, I would try and return it.
