Thorens 145 MKII 45 rpm not working

Hey all, I looked over at Vinyl Engine on this but so far no luck.

My recently acquired Thorens works great at 33 1/3. But when I went to play a 45, it played at 33 1/3.

i had a peek at the pully and it appears to be working properly.

Anyone have a clue???

Is my motor on the fritz?

Maybe need a new belt?

Everything looks on par. Pully looks like you describe.

I bought this table last month. Maybe the previous owner put on the wrong belt? I will get a new belt and start from there.

Thanks for your input!

Ok it looks like I have the wrong belt here. It measure 23 inches. But on a few sites I see the belt should be 20 inches.

I ordered a new belt and will post the results when it comes in.

Thanks!!
