I was able to clean the motor spindle and re-oil, put it back together but still I'm getting a random slow downs. I also applied DeOxit D5 to the 2 VR's inside the motor board. The slow-downs happen randomly, I can see from the strobe light, one bar will skip to the right once in a while; I can also hear it slow down a beat also.
Time for a re-cap? Any other suggestions?
