There was a discussion on old players running fast a few months ago. It was then pointed out indeed the motors used were voltage dependent to a certain degree. Lowering his A/C voltage on a variac brought the motor to proper speed. If I recall his line voltage was in the mid 120s. I was stunned! It was well explained in the thread, something to do with the motors not being synchronous as I recall but have since forgot.

Edit: I found the discussion, look at the last couple posts on the first page.
