Your ears, just admit, if you cannot detect that the speed is off:
IT DOESN"T MATTER!
I occasionally accidently brush against the wheel that controls my TT81's speed, and if just a speck, I don't notice, a bit more, huh, somethings wrong, oh hey, look at that number in the tiny window.
My Thorens TD124, (and my current belt drive Mitsubishi Vertical TT LT-5V) reflected dots, I would wait a few minutes for it to get naturally warm, adjust for steady, and then, if the room temp changed, say a party with lots of people, I would hear it wrong, check, sure enough the speed was off.
