Thanks to everyone for the replies. I took off cover on the platter
and managed to push down the belt some. As of now... it is working!
At correct speed! I hope I have the problem fixed. I'll report back.
Thanks much to everyone for the suggestions about the belt and it
riding up and whatnot. I appreciate it much.

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.

Yeah, my turntable turned a quarter century old in December, and it needs
a little push to get started. One of these days, I really ought to
replace the belt.
