Denon DP-1200 turntable

I have not had this connected to my system in years...partly due to space restrictions and partly due to the platter rotates at a very high speed no matter how I try to control it. Years ago somebody told me it probably needs a new servo? In any case, to what repair price point should I go with this before considering a totally new turntable? There are not other defects that I am aware of and it's still in very good cosmetic condition. This was a better than average tt in it's time but I really have not kept up on these over the years.

I have a Denon 1250 w/Unitrac and came with a DL103r.  The table is servo, but not quartz controlled. Interesting comparison there.  Brace the cabinet and it performs much better.

Correction - I think the cart was a 103d, the high compliance version.
