It is difficult to help you with no circuit diagram or photographys. Such problems are often thermal in nature. Something supplying current to the relay over heats and shut down perhaps.
"Sometimes when turning on USB memory, or as the selected player plays. " Does that block it or unblock it?

What are the status attributes of a transformer other than temperature?

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB
Be sure to look through the references at the end of the article.

turntable and it has a grounding issue, a deep hum.
Does the turntable have electronics in it; preamplifier and power supply perhaps? The capacitors in older electronics often go bad with age.
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)
note the section: "In low frequency audio and instrumentation systems" and the note near the bottom of the article.

As gamer87 you have quite a reputation on the maker.pro forum. They lock the door as soon as they see you coming! They have no sense of humor over there.

In circuit 2 for the RTS0072 note they have an RC sub-circuit at pins 1 and 2, I would try that. Also note at pin 16 there is a resistor Rb to prevent pin 16 being pulled to ground. Perhaps required? Note it uses a 4.3 volt Zener; it must work okay with that voltage.

I found the forum cookies were blocked on my end. I had thought I had removed the URL from about 20 or so sites I have blocked from setting cookies. Thanks for looking on you end.

When I try to login with my desktop computer I get this error code. Forum is unhappy with my desktop computer. I can login via my laptop okay. [contact us] does not work also - can not enter a message.

I would work on the voltage first. Although the specs, say 3.0V ∼ 5.0V for the RTS0072 ,there must be problem somewhere.
The condenser mic. should not be drawing any current, try disconnecting it then recheck the voltage. Pop out the RTS0072 also.
Specs. for the chip are here (see the second circuit which is like the one you are using):

The 1.69 volts at pins 11 & 12 suggest the Zener diode is in the wrong orientation. The 1.69 volts is the forward voltage not the reverse voltage of 4.7 volts you are looking for. If not try popping out the RTS0072 and recheck the voltage, perhaps it is shorted.

I looked at your photo in photoshop where I could enlarge it, looks okay from what I can see of it.
Check the voltage at the speaker and pin 6 of the LM386 for the 6 volts. Also check the voltages at the mic. and pins 11 & 12 at the RTS0072 for the 4.7 volts off the Zener diode. It is best to check voltages at the IC pins if you can. Also you could in similar manner check the ground connections with the meter. Could be a bad RS0072 ?

Without a schematic of your circuit and a closeup photo of your circuit it is not possible to help you.

There are two types of USB power suppliers; the USB power supply and the USB power supply charger. It appears you are using the charger. Consider using a USB hub connected to the charger then connect your led/motion detector plus a simple LED device.
The LED device would have a constant drain to keep the charger active?
see for example(18ma).

Comparing the two data sheets they appear to be nearly identical. the MMBT3904's higher current rating may make it last longer.

Here is a circuit that may work for you. I have a 10k thermistor and a MJE3055. I could try it on a breadboard if you like; converting it to 12v.
-
That is most likely an internal factory number. Remember they do not want you to repair them but to buy new ones. There are a number of videos on youtube in regard to chargers. Search on " Black&Decker 18V Li-ion charger "

Is the action like this? I got to many cd's
Are you comfortable using a micro-controller like an Arduino UNO?
time: action switch 1 switch 2
0: hv pulses charge C1 at ca at cd S2's
1: C1 is charged to 24v at cd at cc
2: hv pulses applied to V at cb at cc
3: C1 drops to 17v at cd at cd S2's
4: hv pulses charge C1 at ca at cd S2'scycle repeats

What types of short period are you interested in? What divert times are you interested in?
An inductor in series with the source and load would retard the current going out and when the magnetic field collapses there would be a back emf towards the source.
A length of coaxial cable would form a delay line. If not terminated to match the cable at the load a pulse would be returned towards the source. see: analog delay line

I used an optocoupler between an Arduino Uno and a mosfet at 350 volts for an capacitor discharge ignition circuit.

Multi-turn pots makes it slow to make adjustments. As Vellerman did not use them perhaps you could replace the pots with good ones like Allen-Bradley pots. Beware of the various tapers that pots have. Check Ebay for good prices on Allen-Bradley pots from US suppliers.

Are you using the information from Jaycar site? There is lot of information on their web site in Specifications and Articles.

You could check the voltage output of the power supply before and after you have a problem with the unit. That would tell you if it is the power supply or not.
