Turntable speed slow with quartz lock


I have an 30 year old Harman Kardon T-60 turntable that runs slow (according to strobe) while in quartz lock mode. I would chalk it up to a bad unit except my friend's unit does exactly the same thing. The coincidence is too great for me to ignore. Any ideas on how 2 units that use a quartz referenced oscillator could both run slow. I have recapped the power supply on mine with no effect.

First, try cleaning the speed selector switch with Radio Shack electrical contact cleaner. If you have variable speed controls, clean them too. I would not do anything else until you have done this- this is a very common problem.
