View attachment 5405here's the gear assembly you need to turn, when you turn this gear it takes all the loose slack out of the cable , be sure the cable is seated on all the guide wheels in the turntable assembly. .
VZ-2500 won't play records after rebelting ?

Great Pics JVC Floyd!
This should really help to solve the issue!
I e-mailed the VZ2000 manual showing the alignment page and the stylus arm cord assembly.

IT'S WORKING OMG IT SO COOL ! Listening to "it takes two" 7" right now !!!!!!!!!1
Thank you all for such great help!
Indeed it was the arm position/micro switch activation that was the issue, after positioned correctly it worked great ! However the speed was iffy so I had to adjust it in the motor, and because the rubber thing on the motor was gone I replaced it with some blu-tac , took an hour to get the right speed !
Now to make an add for it and see what happens .
PEACE

Yay! Good stuff marra, glad it's sorted. You may find that setting the speed wasn't so easy as all that since there's a Darlington pair per direction that can fail and affect speed stability but if you set it mechanically and it sounds right, then it most likely is since thae four transistors are - according to the BVRC spec sheet - reliable, UK-sourced Mullard parts and not some random generic ones.

Glad to hear it is all working!
I knew from the beginning it is the switch...
I also went through the same trouble once.

awesome , i had a feeling that is where they went but i didn't want to chance it and blow it up , i repaired the power board which was snapped in half and how she works great ! , i don't care what anybody say's , the 2500 is a loud punchy sounding box ,you just have to listen to them a lot to nice how decent sounding they can be , they can belt out some sound . thanks for the help.

the 2500 has a great simple deck , the tuner is awesome and picks up better than most of my other boxes , i think it lacks the highs of the vz 2000 but it's close to the same sound overall, the 2500 is so much easier to work on than the 2000 but the 2000 is a much nicer box.the 2500 has din input for line in only which kinda sucks but you can just buy the din cable.the build quality of the 2500 is nowhere near as good as the 2000 but still nothing cheap or junky about it. but back to the sound , i would call it loud and punchy with average sound quality but not poor sound quality.m40dotcom said:

I have VZ2000 and VZ3500 but should admit VZ3500 got amazing sound quality hooked up to expensive speakers. It is just mind blowing......! Don't be fooled my the modest rating of the 28Watts/ channel, they sound like 120Watts per channel with clean and crisp sound.
I thought I was listening to an $8000 music system.

Oh, they are called "din" inputs. That's actually whats on the VZ2000 blue/red version (outta Canada I believe). At least it's on the one I have, where all my 'regular' 2000s have RCAs. Also I believe the only other diff was the Canada one has SW I believe, and the different button on top right for it.
I've never hooked up any boombox to another set of ext speakers. They are just big enough and loud enough where I would've thought more speakers wouldn't be needed. I do think the 2000 doesn't have strong bass for something as F'n huge as it is.
And yes I know, I'm always "off topic". Ha

Nice thread I happened upon here. Boomboxlover48. Those infinitys you turned me on to sound kick good in my garage. I just put in new needles on the closet rebelted serviced 3500 in the womans closet room and it sounds stellar. However I am finding that the heavier gram weight vinyls drag a bit in speed. I'll have to open it and hit the speed adjuster a tad. My question is if I am looking down on the adjuster, do I screw right or left for more speed?BoomboxLover48 said:I have VZ2000 and VZ3500 but should admit VZ3500 got amazing sound quality hooked up to expensive speakers.

So how much you selling it for?SpaceLobster said:OK,
I will ask some more stupid questions before attempting anything, because by now I've understood I know NOTHING about how this works. I'm just amazed it doesn't explode
So this switch is it the kind of gate-like thing on top of the wheel with the wire or is it this white clutch on the side ? Both of them will be affected by the turning of the wheel, but I assumed they were for stopping when the needle was finished or so.. How exactly does it work ? Do I just turn the white wheel connected to the motor with a belt to tensions the cord ? sometimes when I do that motor starts running and doesn't stop until I cut the power.. And where is this pulley you speak of Boomboxlover 48?
And JVC-floyd I would LOVE some photos, I'll be glad to provide you with some as well
Honestly, I just want to fix it, sell it and never buy another one again. I'm sorry, but you can't even play records while walking !? So I'm supposed to walk down the street NOT jamming and only jam when I get tired of carry the darn thing
Peace
