For what it's worth, if the belt is riding low on the pulley, and if the pulley is narrowest at its mid-point, then the speed of the platter would tend to be a bit faster than correct, assuming the pulley is rotating at its intended velocity.
SOTA Sapphire speed issue
Hi, Gang,
I have a SOTA Sapphire turntable that I bought new in the late 1980's. it was sent back to SOTA for a refresh several years ago. They inspected it, replaced the suspension springs and put in a new bearing.
The table is now having speed problems. It can take literally 4 or 5 minutes to spin fully up to speed.
Have any of you seen this on your own SOTA table? Any ideas? I'd love to avoid the time and expense of shipping this beast back to SOTA if I can.
Thanks in advance.
