I finally had some downtime and my new belt for my Classic 2 arrived, so I decided to do some maintenance. I lubed the bearing, didn't use oil on the motor since it's running quiet, put the new belt on and using the KAB strobe disc I was running over 1% off. I decided to clean off all the old lube that was on the spindle (the shaft the platter sits on) and inside the platter. Some dirty stuff in there. Put the platter back on and the speed is pretty much dead on, I didn't see any drift. So there you have it, scientific proof that this maintenance keeps your TT happy and playing at the proper speed.
