RCA SFT100 CED player

[AdamAnt316]

I've managed to find a couple of working CED players, though only one of them was working when I got it. My first was a Sears 274.54740150, which was a relabeled RCA SFT-100. At first, it had the usual wobbly color issues. Going by the tutorials on CEDMagic, I printed out a strobe ring, and discovered that the platter wasn't spinning at the proper 450RPM.

I ordered a replacement belt from CEDMagic, which helped a little, but the color was still off. I then lubricated both sets of platter bearings, but the picture was still wonky. After some discussion on the CEDMagic forum, it was determined that the new belt, which had originally been sourced from PRBLine, was too tight. I then bought a NOS RCA replacement belt from CEDatum, which finally fixed the color issue.
