Rising 2005 Speed

Hi everyone!

Just got a Rising SRC 2005 with a tape speed issue. The tape is playing slow, maybe 5% or so. I opened it up and it doesn't seem to have any issues with the belt, though I guess it can't be ruled out that there's some slack, 5% seems high though(?). Looking at the motor, I couldn't find any speed adjust - anyone else tried tinkering with the Rising's tape speed? Other issues I could check? The problem is consistent with all tapes I've tried.

One thing I noticed is that if I supress play to just before the bottom position to lock it into play it will play at the right speed but going any further will yield the slower tape speed.

Appriciate any help.
