Pioneer PL-A35 belt replacement

Vintage Asylum

Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Hey, this is my first post here so please be gentle hahaha

I have a Pioneer A-35 turntable that I got out of the attic of a disused rectory. This dead priest's machine played my records beautifully for fifteen years, but then it started to be unreliable. Wobbly speed mainly.

I replaced the belt. That fixed it for a month or so, but then it started failing again.

If replacing the belt fixed it for a while, is there something else I need to do? I assume the belt was an issue if replacing it helped, but clearly there is something else going on, right?
