Dear Members,
I do have a Philips India 242 turntable.
It is working well but now a days a problem I am facing that while its playing LPs the speed goes down suddenly. I stop the motor then restart it and the speed becomes correct. After some time again speed drops.
From where the problem arises?
Waiting for your suggestions.

It's a belt drive turntable. Did you check the belt hadn't been stretched?

I haven't checked yet the belt. Should I check it first?

Dear Subhabrata Dutta,
Have a look at HiFiVision.com: http://www.hifivision.com/phono-turntables/46097-philips-15ga242-tt-service-manual.html
which is an Indian site/forum where "musiklava79" offers for free a pdf-version of the manual.
The 242 (15GA242) was (only?) made and sold in India. Good looking turntable!
Good luck!

P.S. This forum (NFOR) does not deal with transistor apparatus whilst I fear the speedregulation of the 242 is with transistors.
A proper transistorforum is the Nederlands Transistorforum: http://www.philipsradios.nl/forum/ .
There is also a very good site on turntables. The Nederlands Grammofoon Genootschap: http://www.grammofoon.com/frameset.htm?&ContentFrame .

Even een correctie: De site van het Nederlands Grammofoon Genootschap is GEEN forum. Het is een informatieve site waar veel gegevens van grammofoons op staan. Wel bestaat de mogelijkheid om technische vragen te stellen.
Groeten,
Peter
