Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable


Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable.This is a belt driven Oracle Delphi II with Origin Live motor and Origin Live Control Board and Origin Live Power Supply.  I am guessing it can be the belt, motor, control board and /or power supply.   How do I determine what is not working?

There is of course the well-proven quartz oscillator based PLL method used in better direct drive turntables. 
AC synchronous motors rely on stability of AC frequency, which before accounting for noise from other sources can vary by up to +/-2Hz, which is an error range of 6.7%. Noise that breaks the synchronization can increase this to 10% depending on the power factor of the source. Bottom line is to use a line frequency conditioning device for equipment that has AC synchronous motors. This is why quartz oscillator disciplined phase locked loop controlled DC motors maintain speed with much greater precision and reliability.
