Hi all, I've got a problem - my PL-12d is running about 5-6% too fast.
I've timed a 3-minute track, played both on my LP12 and CD, and they are both accurate and hit 3mins. On the PL, it's over in just over 2m57 - which gives it a weird chipmunkesque sound.
I've read somewhere about too deep a belt being a problem, but it seems to be sat properly on the spindle, sitting on the lower half of the 33rpm section.
Any clues? I thought the PL had a synchronous motor, so the speed shouldn't be able to go "off". Has my motor had a fit?
Any clues would be great, as other than that it's a great little record player.
Cheers in advance, FBSF.
