Default Turntable playback speed problem

The Valhalla board sets the motor speed, not the mains input voltage or
frequency, as basically it generates its own crystal oscillator frequency
stable voltage to run the motor. Motors rarely run slow, so it should be
either a slipping belt or a faulty Valhalla board in theory as it could
still run slow if the Valhalla output stage was faulty giving a low output
voltage. Does anything look cooked on the board? My bet is the belt.


I picked up another belt. If I look at the new and old belt side by
side, they look EXACTLY the same. However, the new belt now plays at
the proper speed. :\ Must have a few extra molecules or something.

Thanks for the suggestions
