Playing European TT in US ?


I have a Rega P3 turntable I bought while living in France. I have brought it home to the US and it is not playing right. I bought a 300 W converter to play it. At 33 rpms it plays too fast (about 43 rpms) and at 45, the belt shudders and it plays at about 20 rpms. Is there something I need to make this play ? something in addition to the converter ?

thanks in advance

A frequency converter as well as a voltage converter. Some power regenerators will change frequency. Europe is 50 hz, US is 60 hz. A new motor otherwise...
