    It's a belt drive.

    I just bought a TTUSB10 turntable, and it isn't spinning fast enough. Both the 33 and 45 speed are running too slowly.

    I have just fixed this problem on my Aiwa PX3800 with improvisation.
    The platter was rotating too slowly, I didn't know how much too slow only that the records sounded wrong.
    I imagined the belt, motor and platter as a bicycle gear and so simply increased the gear... I achieved this by winding a thin strip of a electrical insulation tape around the motor head to increase it's radius (like changing up to a larger front cog on a bicycle gear).
    I could then time the rotations and remove a layer or two of the tape accordingly until I have achieved a perfect 45rpm. 33 is still way out but I only listen to 45s!
    Be sure to trim excess tape from the motor head with a craft knife/scalpel or it'll stick to the platter.
    Poor man fix up.

Hi,
This turntable is a belt drive and, It will sound slow if you got a bad belt or the belt is off track.The speed is too slow means, there is a problem with the motor driver or the motor itself. Fixing the motor or the motor driver, would be more than buying a new turntable.

Thank you and I hope, I answered your questions.

Why is turntable too slow?

If it's belt drive, the rubber drive belt may be slipping (look inside and see if you can detect slippage).....or if it's gear driven or direct drive.....I'd just let it run for an hour or so and see if it speeds up.

If not, and it's valuable, take it to a repair shop. If it's cheap....scrap it!

Yorx turntable speed issue, And turntable is warped.

You may be experiencing Acoustic Feedback, although it doesn't really make any sense the way you describe it. Make sure the tonearm is balanced and the proper weight is dialed in on same. Does it make any difference if the volume or bass are turned down, which my point to the Acoustic Feedback.

I have a Sherwood PD - 913 R and the pitch seems to be spinning out of sync which makes the RPM"s not right for 33 or 45 speeds, any help on what could be the cause is appreciated. There is a pitch...

The turntable motor might be the problem, if the grease is old it becomes hard causing the turntable to run slow, by your description we can rule that out since you indicate it runs to fast. therefore it is the voltage that powers the motor with a regulator "keeps voltage constant" or the motor itself will be the problem. The pitch control allows a small change in speed when required.

HMV Radiogram Turntable run slow at the start,

you should check under the table.
if it's a roller drive there, you can use water to clean the roller rubber and the inside edge of the platter.

If it's a belt drive, take it out and measure the length and get a replacement belt of same length

Speed Changes

Perhaps it's time to change the belt on your unit. If after you change the belt, you still have the same issue, then the problem might be with the motor itself. The motor itself is a relatively inexpensive part, around $20-30, and the labor should run in the 40min range - so you can get an idea of what it will cost. Hopefully it's an easy fix. Not sure where you could source the belt, but if you take off the old one, you should be able to match it up easily. Also, there should be a part number in the user manual, and instructions on ordering a replacement belt or at least a part number. FYI, belts generally run in the $5-15 range, and are user replaceable. Good Luck!
