BIX TT with speed problems

207.6.149.236

I've owned a first generation BIX for a few years already, and for a variety of reasons it sat mainly unused until recently.

I am embarking on digitizing my album collection (1K+) and am now using the tt daily. I am finding that it is not holding the speed constant. I have topped up the oil (many times in fact); cleaned the edge of the platter, the drive string and drive pulley, and levelled the table. From the beginning of one side to the end, the speed changes. Even if I let it run for a while to "warm up", the speed varies within minutes. Very frustrating.

Has anyone out there with a BIX had this problem? More importantly, how did you fix it?

Responses are appreciated.
