Beogram 1700 speed issues

[gaberhodes]

Hi all,

My 1700 has started to play at variable speeds, slowing down then back to normal, then slowing down, creating a very audible wobbling effect. I figured it was the belt, but I’ve replaced it with two different belts from two different vendors so now I’m assuming it’s a failing motor and I’m resigned to replace the turntable. Just posting here in case anyone has a suggestion for an easy fix. And if replacing a motor is worth doing, please don’t hesitate to tell me!

Thanks,

Gabe
