Default Pioneer PL20 Mk2 turntable, warbly sound problem - need advice

Hello all,

I'm having a game with this deck. I have oiled it where it suggests, I
have given it a new belt, I have tightened down the mounting screws for
the motor and still the thing (only sometimes) gives off this sound
like a warped recording.

I can see the drive wheel through the holes in the platter wobbling.
But it only does it sometimes. I played one side of an album last
night, played perfect, flipped her over and this problem starts.

Basically its an intermitant problem that makes the drive wheel wobble.
You can put your hand on the spring loaded base plate and feel the
whole thing wobbling.

At first i thought it was the belt dragging on the speed changer arm
mechanism but i had to rule that out when like i say i played one side,
turned it over without changing the speed and it then started.

There has to be an easy fix for this, if it plays perfectly sometimes,
please advise.



Looks like it's binnit, innit??
