SANSUI FR 4060 running half step fast

Again, that would be a 17% difference, which would translate to almost a step and a half in musical terms. If Emp is correct about it being a true half step off, the 50/60 issue couldn't be the cause. I suppose it could be the belt, but feel caps are far more likely. Plus, it's a good thing to do to a 40 year old piece of electronics anyway. If you spend a few bucks and a couple hours on caps and it doesn't correct it, you still haven't done any harm.

Little bigger belt, this one seem pretty tight. I'm new to this stuff but it seemed tight.

Wife and kids are in Disney til next Friday and I'm mostly home getting some work done. Just give me a heads up if you want to bring it out this way.

Update time.
Picked up a Sanyo turntable today. It was belt drive so I put the Sanyo belt on the Sansui and the speed is now 34 RPM . My conclusion is that the belt they sent me for the 4060 is too small. Plan to find local place that sells belts and take the Sanyo belt and find a belt jut slightly larger than the Sanyo belt.
Thanks for everyones suggestions.
