Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster

After oiling the main bearing and the spindle, no change whatsoever. I give up.

I am going to buy a new turntable from another brand. I don't have the slightest clue why this is going on.

Thanks all.

Find someone with a multi-meter and check your voltage.
Better yet, locate a variac (voltage modifier), dial in 115 volts and see what happens.
Best of luck...

I'll try but, to be honest, I am fed up with this turntable. Thanks.

I just finished my testing with a multi-meter (I couldn't locate a variac) and found between 115.6 and 116.7 volts. Better yet, I used a 500W AC automatic voltage regulator (and plugged the motor in): no change. It still spins too fast, somewhere closer to 45 rpm than 33 1/3. I really don't know what else to do. And please note that I used 2 different Music Hall motors with exactly the same results and that the Speed Box II didn't/doesn't change a thing.

I am desperate now.

One more additional bit of information. The multi-meter reads 18 volts at the motor's power adapter output.

Question: is there any kind of belt inside the motor that might be causing the problem (because it's dilated or something)?. It's definitely not the AC voltage.

Still desperate.
