I used a strobe disk to checked for speed and it was just a little slow. I tried to adjust the new belt to a larger diameter area of the motor pulley without success. It's hard to position the belt on the pulley because of the weight of the platter. I am going to wrap aluminum tape over the pulley to increase it's diamter to increase speed. The speed just a tat slow, I didn't note it before I used the strobe disk. I've been using VPI Arries 2 platter and bearing on my solid support home made TT. I just like to check out the performance of the famous LP12. I used a thin piece of carpet between the stainless steel plate and the motor and this eliminated the motor noise felt on the arm board. I checked for motor noise by using a medical stethoscope. I used cord sheet before and it didn't help much. Thanks for all your help.
