Hello everybody, new member here with a question. I have this beautiful old Beogram from the early 70’s, which suddenly stopped rotating at 45rpm speed. When I try to change the speed from 33 to 45, it actually slows down a bit.

I’ve been browsing several sites and videos trying to find similar experiences/solutions, but with no luck. Does anyone here have any knowledge about this issue and would it be possible to repair it by myself?

Instead of jumping up the motor pulley steps, the idler wheel just rubs on the step edge.
Bad or wrong belt, most likely.
The belt needs a certain elasticity to allow for speed switching.
