    Question I bought a 180g album but it's too heavy for my "Music Center Hi FI System. Is there anything I can do ?

    Well, silly as this may seem, there isn't any makers identification (i.e. "JVC" or "Panasonic") it just says "Music Center Hi Fi System". I (obviously) haven't got the manual that came with it. It was a present from my (now) wife.

    Thanks to everyone for the advice. I now have to find someone who can take a look at "the Old Girl". It may be difficult with lock-downs etc. Nevertheless, you've all been very helpful.

    If it has a drive belt, could this be a stretched belt? Lighter albums play normally.

    It plays the record very slowly. I tried a lighter album, it plays normally. Could the reason be a stretched drive belt (if it has one)?

    The hi fi is a basic, inexpensive, 30 year old hi fi. It has absolutely no problems with lighter weights of vinyl.
