Linear Tracking Turn Table Not Tracking

I have a Sony PS-FL77 turn table that stops tracking after a couple of minutes. Does anyone have suggestions as to where I should start looking for the cause of this problem

I found the problem with tracking. The rubber drive belt from the servo was old and slipping. I took it off and cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol. Then I did what I do on my laser printers when the paper pickup starts causing problems. I put a light coating of automotive belt dressing on the pulleys and belt.

I admire your frugality. But:

If you can scrounge up $12.90, you can get a new belt!
