Hello, I have a Pioneer PL-2 belt drive turntable that is running fast on 33rpm (I assume on 45rmp as well). It is not chipmunk fast, but noticeable. For example a 5:10 song will only tak 4:40 to play so it seems to be off by about 10% Is this an easy Do It Yourself tweek/fix? If so any suggestions as to how? Many thanks.
You say it is a belt drive? If it is running fast then the power supply to the motor is probably going. What electronics do you know?
