I have a Pioneer PL-112D belt drive turntable. There are no manual speed adjustments, like an automatic deck will have. This is spinning at approximately 34.4 - 34.8 RPM, which is noticeable on some songs.
I took the motor apart, cleaned it (it had been overlubricated it looks like) and then put a small amount of turbine oil in the lower bearing, as well as a small amount at the top of the shaft (which should make its way into the upper bearing).
I took the spindle shaft out, cleaned it. Cleaned the well that the shaft goes into, including removing the small ball bearing and cleaning it. I put a drop of oil into the well, put the ball back in and the spindle shaft back in.
Removed the belt. Cleaned it and the inner rime of the platter (where the belt rides) with alcohol. Cleaned up the motor pulley as well. Everything is cleaned, oiled and seems to be working great, with the exception of it being too fast.
Any ideas?
