I do not have an amadeus :).

but had a well tempered classic since 1985. Made various pulleys for it including a string pulley. the polly string will stretch and you either have to adjust for the stretch or replace it. first thing to check is the motor, if it spinning when it comes to a crawl then the string is slipping on the pulley. If the motor is stopped, well then it is either the controller, or the motor. if the motor is spinning and the belt is slipping, It could be still the bearing, take the belt off. put a marker, like a piece of tape on the platter spin it by hand and see how long it spins and where it stops, repeat multiple times and see if it stops at the same place or random places. If it does not spin long you need to see if the teflon v blocks are fully immersed in the goop. The goop is 50 cts silicon oil or some people have substituted it with mobil 1 but i would check with Mike Pranka before i would do that.. if the V block are fully lubed then check the bearing shaft if it is scratched up ur not smooth, both on the bottom and the sides. If the goop and shaft checks out, and the platter stops the same place may he bearing cup is damaged somehow. if the the platter spins long stops at random places then it can only be the belt. sounds long but in a matter of 10 minutes you can narrow it down to the cause.
