If the problem persists..... plan to replace the belt and clean up the
pulley and platter where the belt rides. If the belt is slightly stretched
or worn this can happen again.

om...
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.
