Thanks for your input.
I think I will again check and clean the belt, motor pulley, and subplatter. It makes sense there could some oil contamination, as I did add one drop of oil to the motor trough when I first set it up.
If that doesn't improve things, I will contact SME and let you know what they tell me.
Follow Ups:
20-30 seconds is not at all out of line for a typical belt-drive to get up to set speed. Many take longer. Depends upon motor torque, belt friction, and mass of the platter, so will be different for each design.
The SME motors seem to give a hard push at start up and then slow to settle at their set speed so you end up with them settling at 78 rpm and 45 rpm quicker than at 33 as the mass of the significant platter is slowed.
Finished re-cleaning the motor pulley, sub platter, and belt last evening. The SME 10 now locks to correct speed in approximately 10-12 seconds, so it appears there was some remaining oil contamination on at least one of those items.
So, all is well, and I will not need to bother SME (for now).
Thanks to all for replies and suggestions.
