Technics SL-1200 Mk2 slowing down during playback

Posted on another forum I havent had any bites yet so posting here...


Kinda freaked me out and wondering what I should do to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I pressed the start/stop button and it rectified itself.
However this must mean something so what should I check or replace?

Works fine now but something like this always means the start of something...

Just an idea here... it has an electronic break, which basically reverses the motor. It's intensity is adjustable by a trimmer (semi-open design) which can get oxidized and act up plus a few electrolytic capacitors around it could be dried up. It's typically an easy fix, here's a vid about it
