Reloop RP-4000 M3D Disassembly / Repair

First of all you have to remove the needle, slipmate and the plate. Remove the turntable plate by lifting it up. It rests on a cone at the center axis. It will get loose with a *plopp*.

Pull up the small cover plate for the "remote control start/stop" plug allocated at the backside. It is fixed with double-sided adhesive tape

For turning around the turntable put maybe two books beside the main axis . So that the device is not resting at the main axis either then the tone arm!

Loosen 8 screws with a Phillips screwdriver at the bottum of the turntabel. (signed red in picture).

Be aware that under every screw a spacing ring is allocated, the will fall away while opening the housing. (It is not a big problem during reassembling later)

1st impression: looks cheap

blue: Audio cabeling from tone-arm to cinch cable.

green: light an switch

yellow: Start/Stop and speed setting pcb.

red: The direct-drive on a pcb under a metal housing.

Tilt the housing for loosen the 4 phillips screws at the top (marked yellow).

unplug the blue cable

unplug the white cable

unwrap the yellow cable-pack

loosen the last phillips screw holding the drive-pcb.

After removing the last srcew you can lift and turn the PCB. The Drive Axis (Pin) with its housing is held to the PCB by megnetic force. You can lift it up.

Here i found my problem; One of the 6 coils was loose and the cable was broken from the soldering. I checked the coil with a multimeter (continuity check - beep). The coil was despite some scratches still good and with the signs on the pcb i was able to solder the coil-cable back in place.

For the attachment of the coil to the pcb i choose a strong but still a little flexible glue ("UHU Kraft Alleskleber").
