Hi All, so i have a beogram 1203 that i have been refurbishing for about a year. It runs real well now apart from one problem, It starts slow but if i leave it on for 20 minutes it eventually runs at the perfect speed and will continue to do so as long as i keep playing records. If i stop for about 30 minutes it slows down again and i then have to let it run for 20 minutes again. I have pulled it apart and re-oiled it a few times and initially that seemed to work and lasted about 6 months but now it's running slow again, i opened it up re-oiled the bearings and there doesn't seem to be a change this time. does any body have any ideas as to what it could be?

Wrong oiling method
Wrong oil
Worn bearings
Any combination of the above.

Replace the bearings.
