Numark TT 1650 Direct Drive Slow Rotation Problem

[mongopusher666]

What's up FP, I've recently bought a used Numark TT1650 Direct Drive turntable. At first week the turntable was playing nice and smooth, I was doing some scratches and recording some samples into my macbook.

But, from a few weeks ago, I noticed the turntable started to loose rotation (until it barely spin) after around 5 minutes on. And when that happens, the 33-45rpm buttons stop working as well.

I already called a lot of places trying to know if someone could get it fixed, but I couldn't find anything.
I'm living in Brazil, so the technical assistance here is pretty weak.

I wanna know if someone here already experienced that, or know something about that problema on another turntables, idk.
I'm not a expert but im really willing to open and try to fix it myself. (I don't know NOTHING about eletronics n stuff like that lol).

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a power/voltage issue (too many things plugged into an incapable power strip) or a bad motor.
