Thanks so much! Sorry if I am missing what is probably obvious! I got some sewing machine oil and dripped a couple of drops onto the mechanism. I then let the turntable run for a few minutes before trying a record - it was an improvement but still a bit slow/fast at points. I guess I'll need to wait a while for it to do its magic - I don't think this unit has ever had a proper service and had been in a charity shop for a good while.
If there are any other suggestions or advice - all is welcome at this point!
This is such a wonderful forum - you are all amazing!
