Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Are you saying that with a 60hz pulley it runs too fast -

and you cannot get the speed to 33, 45 or 78 by adjusting the control knob? So long as you can get the correct speed by adjusting the speed controller and the motor is not overheating or noisy, I'd forget about it.

My 301 and 401 and Lenco 88 run fast because the voltage at the wall is too high. I'm in the UK and get 252/3volts rather than the 230 volts which is supposed to be the standard. As it's just within the 10% tolerance I have to live with it, I'm too busy replacing overheating KT88 tubes every 9 months or so (a mod is being planned to cure this).

Garrard themselves produce a speed and torque controller, somewhere around $2k I seem to remember, although a more modest one is in development, again, check out their website.
