It's the governor !

Yes, it is the governor - I had the same problem with a pot metal governor (see my posting on the other thread - not even Caruso could hold a steady note with that. Get a brass HMV 102 governor and your problems will go away.

After looking at your video, I really think you should just look at adjusting the speed control plate under the turntable. Here is a picture that might help in adjusting your speed control:

I think if you can slide the plate slightly to the right after loosening the screws A and B you'll find there's room for adjustment until you end up with the speed indicator centered on 78.

Is it? Looking at the video, the governor seems to move quite freely when the lever is moved.

See working in "fast". Then I show a video with the proposed amendments. Thank you!

Don't you have the speed control set on "fast"? What happens if you move the control to the something in between?

Hi, If I move to the mid (78s), plays a bit slow...

sorry but it is still the governor ! been there done that ! take the governor out , remove the spindle , either file inside the pot metal governor to remove sticking points ( they are there )or get some valve grinding paste and place on the spindle and work the spindle in and out of the pot metal part 50 to 100 times , remove all grinding paste ( ear buddies and lots of oil ) and reassemble and it will work perfectly !
