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.

Kirkus, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think what you meant to ask is: "Are both turntables running slow by exactly the same amount?" ;--)

If the answer is "yes" (I'm guessing) it would point to both units being run with (or set to?) the wrong voltage/cycles, or at least not something "wrong" with the units themselves?

Curious.
