Over time the grease on phonos will harden and gum up, causing everything to slow or stop. Clean off the old grease and relubricate. I use sewing machine grease, it comes in a squeze bottle with a long tip that can reach into the tight spaces. You can find it at any craft store. Also check the rubber wheel(s) and make sure they are not slipping. The rubber can harden or even crack which will make them loose traction, I've also had wheels that have stuck to the platter. Clean the wheels, spindles and platter and carefully try to spin them by hand to make sure they can spin freely.
