Anyone experienced speed issues with Artemis Labs SA-1?

Hi guys.
I was listening for several hours and then out of blue on the last record the speed started slowing down and back and then down again. I had zero issues in my 2 years or so of ownership. Used in an all Artemis lab system.

I used my cell phone to measure (after stopping and removing the record) and it showed around 32 rpm first which then - after a few revolutions_ dropped to 30.
Wondering if anyone had the same issue and figured out the fix.

Checked the pulleys - no friction. Not sure about the bearing but does not seem to have an issue.
After 6 full records I had no issues whatsoever. Hopefully this was it.
If it comes back again I may do some deeper investigation.

Did you have any luck with resolving the speed issue? I remember reading that each ps was matched to the motor in the deck, a task that required the use of an oscilloscope if so a plug in replacement is unlikely.
The ps was designed by John Atwood.

I should have left this thread alone, mine started glitching today, I turned it off after the second time in 10 minutes.

sorry to hear that.

I think I will take mine in a few weeks time for some check-up...
