"The motor runs fast...and yes, I have the correct belt."How much too fast? You could get unlucky and encounter this same problem with an old Thorens (unless it's something like TD125/126 with pitch control).
I've had 2 TD150MkII. The first ran approximately 1% too fast and the second one was dead on correct.
A friend of mine has a TD160Super that also ran a bit fast. He solved this by carefully sanding down the diameter of the pulley with some very fine sandpaper (one needs to be very careful and precise obviously).
The smaller Luxman DD's are actually relatively inexpensive here in Denmark where I live compared to what I've seen elsewhere (not that it's any good to you).
Less that perfect speed precision (let's say within 1%) is actually less important compared to stuff like wow & flutter (so I've been told). Maybe some of us are more sensitive to this than others. But it sure is nice to know that the pitch is dead on - it bothers me too if it isn't (I have a Lenco).
It seemed to me that my CD-player was running too slow back when I had my first TD150MkII (the one that was too fast). I listened to vinyl mostly and my brain got used to that and told me that the CD-player was "slow". :-)
