Questions about my turn table?
After my vintage record player was stolen from me, I bought one from an old record store where I live. Its lasted a long time, but recently, its been slowing down and speeding up randomly and there's a loud humming noise coming from the box somewhere. Thoughts? And could this problem damage any of my prized vinyls? Should I just junk it?
Its a Magnavox Semi Auto, with Pansonic Thruster speakers and a Kenwood floor monitor... btw. If that helps at all. The player itself is older than I am...

It won't mess up your records because it sounds like the motor is going out on it. Usually, a hum is almost always the motor getting ready to go out. The slowing down and speeding up also is an indicator that it's a motor problem. I don't know how much you've invested in it but if it were me, I'd trash it if I didn't put more than a couple of hundred in it. Places like Fry's Electronics are actually stocking a variety of turntables now at pretty decent prices.
The only other thing that can go wrong on a record player is the belt and if that usually happens, you hear a squeaking sound.
