In Reply to: Speed accuracy on vintage belt drive TT with "electronic speed control" posted by JoshT on January 13, 2017 at 23:02:46:

So, with the benefit of a good night's sleep, I tinkered ever so slightly with the pitch adjustment nob and am now at a stable average speed of 33.26, which is within 0.2%. It did take about 20 minutes to gradually climb from 33.16 to 33.26, but then it held firm for about another 20 minutes before I turned it off. I'll give it a few more whirls throughout the day to see if it consistently performs that way. And I'll try with a record on it too, which I guess would also verify if the speed control is working as it should.

I will definitely clean the belt and applicable surfaces. And I'll also at least give the pitch adjustment nobs a full twist each way a few times to see of that has an impact. Seem like good ideas in any event, and might improve any wow and flutter? (Though I don't hear any.) As far as the internal electronic adjustments, I just don't dare try on my own, but will check with some friends to see if they'd be comfortable trying with me hovering to learn.

Finally, where would one purchase a belt these days that would safely be within spec and do no harm? Also seems like a good investment, even if only for the future.

Thanks again gentlemen, and I'll report later in the day whether I find any notable changes after performing the additional tasks!
