The platter? Tap the spindle with a screwdriver handle and few times.

For anyone with the same speed issue on my PL 50, don't shave down your spindle. Get the correct belt. The wrong thickness will cause the table to run fast.

I agree, but how many belts have you found you need to go through to get the proper length/thickness? On this particular table I went through a few and reading more forum posts than I care to admit, found that speed issues on these are very common given the lack of properly sized belts and the design of the table.

The correct thickness should be .025" 35.1" length of belt..

Maybe a adjustable trim pot can be wired in series to the spindle, in order to control the speed of the motor? Or a small potentiometer of some sort that would make a great mod for this turntable. Therefore the belt shouldn't be an issue. You can always adjust your motor to the proper speed. Just a thought

Interesting…I actually resolved the issue by completely taking the motor apart (for the umpteenth time) and doing a deep clean with acetone on the bearings. Once I did that it consistently gets up to speed within 10-15 seconds.

I found the dimensions for the Thrust Bearing online. Bearing measures .420" in diameter x .081" high. Delrin should be used. Thought I'd share..😊

Inside the spindle housing (on the bottom) is a thrust bearing assembly.

Same speed on mine after starting with a much slower speed as well. I'm not as handy as you so thanks for making this video
