Re: Slow turntable problem - Pioneer PL-A35

I would definitely clean and lube the main bearing if you haven't already. Just make sure the whole drive train is clean and sound.

How slow do you mean? (Use a stopwatch and give exact # of revolutions.)

The new belt might be too tight, or too loose. Too loose you would probably hear wow, but too tight can slow down the table as well (sort of counterintuitive).

I wouldn't expect it to be the motor, but you might want to check that as well. Assuming you can't open it up, drop light motor oil down the spindle.
