Re: Accuracy of BSR turntables.
In the late 70s my cousin was given a cheap Fidelity stereo record player for Xmas. The fitted BSR turntable always ran noticeably fast. A heavy aftermarket mat helped slightly, but the only real solution would've been to drop the voltage to the motor.
As has been said the problem seemed to be worse on the newer decks. I have a UA6 in a Black Box and a single deck in a Dansette popular and neither of these sound wrong, whereas on my cousin's unit it was very noticeable.
