Whats wrong

Dear Lewm, perhaps I should clarify better when I checked the speed of my turntable, it was after the warm up period. Sorry if I misled you. Still waiting on the belts and will post up when I get them. Want to thank you for your input and enjoyed looking at the system you have put together. I am sure it sounds special. Best of Luck

Wanted to give an update on my turntable, had my son take it down to Peters at PBN Audio, as I am out of town during the week, he was nice enough to go thru all the parts of the table thoroughly, regreased the spindle and flywheel, check the sds and motor to include the bearings, and installed the new belts. Just got off the phone with my son and he says the table is running perfectly. Learned my lesson will perform maintenance on the table at least once a year, want to thank everyone who participated in this thread. Happy Listening

Good deal!

So, the problem WAS related to slow speed during warm-up?
The suspense is killing me. However, the bottom line is that you're happy with it now.

Lewm initially the table played slow, and than it was fine after warmup. Problem was that the table got steadily worse until it played slow at all times. Once the table was re-greased and new belts installed the problem was solved. Special thanks to Peter at PBN.
