Set up or repair for Roksan Xerxes
Hey guys I hope someone can help me.
I have a Roksan Xerxes turntable that I brought over from the UK and I'm having a little trouble with it.
Excuse the poor terminology, but thr belt keeps slipping off the pulley, not the motor one but the one under the platter. I have tried changing the set up on the table but to no avail, and really I don't know what I'm doing.
Would appreciate if anyone has any advice, or better could point me in the direction of someone who can help me to take a look and fix it.
Many thanks!
Gary

Just to add, I have already tried changing the belt in case it was stretched or damaged.

Hi, have you checked out the platter/plinth/sub-plinth adjustments and alignment? Roksan has the various instructions downloadable at:

Re: Set up or repair for Roksan Xerxes
Did a bit more research and found out that the belt slipping off is a common problem and is sometimes caused by too much torque when you turn the TT on, this can be avoided by spinning it by hand first. I tried this without too much success, and after a while I noticed that there was a faint scraping sound... it seems like I have suffered from the dreaded sag and now my platter is scraping against the plinth. This is a much bigger issue to fix, and not something that I think can be done so easily many thousands of miles from the factory. I think it's maybe time to put the Xerxes in mothballs and keep my eyes peeled for something interesting in the classifieds...

There is a Roksan local dealer at Jaya One, PJ (The Expert Group). But if you don't purchased from them, they may charge you twice the service rate.
