I would bet that you cannot hear a problem with that small error in platter speed, and especially because the speed stays very constant over time. IMO, if the speed is "very close" to 33.33, and if it is stable, you're good to go, unless you hear a deviation in pitch, which I guess is the definition of "very close". Just for yucks, you might want to check speed while actually playing an LP.

Rindolini really knows his stuff. The only thing I would add to what he and others wrote is that you might want to replace all the electrolytic capacitors with new ones, before you even do a speed adjustment. On the other hand, the cost of that exercise would exceed the cost of the turntable, unless you can do the soldering yourself.
