SDS question

Hello friends,
I was checking my turntable speed today using my KAB speed strobe and found that my table was running quite slow. I had the VPI SDS calibrated at 59.85hz and I thought I had the speed perfect. Today, I needed to adjust it to 60.03hz to get it dead accurate again.
What might cause such a big change to have to be made? I was wondering if it might be the weather (it has turned cold recently here in Chicago)?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I've been using Phil's Tenacious Oil, a bicycle oil, for several years now after it was recommended on the Vinyl Asylum. Used it on my Scout, and have been using it on my Scoutmaster with excellent results.

Here's a link:

That's exactly what I did. It's actually 3 set screws, 2 in the shaft, and, once the shaft is removed, a very small one to lift out the brass nut. I then dabbed a swab with motor oil and brushed. Not that simple, but there it is. I hadn't even given thought to doing this since I acquired the motor a couple of years ago, so it was certainly about time.
