Speed stability issues with my Teres turntable...
I have a Redpoint Model D tt and I had some speed issues a while back, I got a new motor from Maxon thinking that was the problem it was not. Same speed issue as before so I did some checking turns out it was the motor circuitry. I bought a cheap ... 
Brass Pulley for My TT
Update:Turns out it was the belt leaving the residue, kinda weird though none of the belts I used in the past did this... I am thinking maybe because I am near the end of the roll of Mylar had something to do with it?

brf,I am hoping you are right, that's what I am thinking also. That the shop didn't polish it enough I guess time will tell.

I agree, I replaced the Maxon motor about 2 years ago I only have 200 hours on the TT since changing the motor. I did buy a complete motor and controller assembly but, I think it is too light for the heavy platter. I won’t know for sure until I ge...
