That won't explain why the turntable runs faster. In case of a stretched
or worn
belt the speed would decrease when the belt slips.

I often found noisy speed pots (possiply reference trims inside) causing
this
effect.

Of course it would explain it. A belt that is stretched can ride onto the
larger part of the spindle causing this effect. If adjustments were the
solution, he would not have experienced such dramatic changes in speed.

I am not familiar with the model, but if it is belt driven it likely needs a
belt and the spindle cleaned. If it is direct drive, there is likely a
defect that needs repair.

If what you say is true, then it's specific to the turntable.

My Lenco has a design that does not allow for the shifting that
you attribute to turntables. The gizmo for changing speed moves
the belt up and down on the spindle, My recollection is that the
gizmo is relatively stiff, so the belt shift its position unless
one specifically moves it, via the speed lever.
