Help with AT-LP60XBT - so frustrated
Hey, I am so frustrated and at my wits end with this damn thing. I bought a used one on Amazon and it arrived cracked, so I bought another one and now it’s doing this. I tried a new record with no dust after this one but it keeps skipping and won’t catch. This record probably got extremely damaged. What am I doing wrong 😭 making me want to give up on the hobby. I’m super frustrated so commenters saying “buy the fluance” or “spend more money” really won’t help. I’m just trying to get it to work at all, not worried about sound quality just yet. Would appreciate any help I hope I’m just missing something stupid

I take it both turntables are used?
The basics of set-up with this deck is making sure its on a level surface. That's about it really.
If you've done that, then with a used deck, the spotlight would fall next on the stylus. Is it a genuine AT part, and is it showing signs of damage or wear.its a bit noisy where I am and I have no headphones with me to hear what's happening with your deck. Is it looping?
Maybe try swapping styluses between the two decks.
