Just got an Empire 598 and having some issues. Any experts?

I just picked up an Empire 598 turntable with the following issues:

1. It runs slightly fast.

2. When I press the power button on with the belt in 33 position, as it starts up it drops the belt into 45 position. I have to manually push it back to 33 a few times before it stays in place.

(I'm guessing issue 1 and 2 indicate that this machine may have the wrong belt installed?)

3. I need a source for the correct belt.

4. The power button light is out.

5. I want to use a record weight, but it seems like the added weight messes up the suspension and the position of the belt. Any advice about that?

I hope someone can help me. Thanks!
