The NEW drive belt in my old Technics SG2500L turntable keeps slipping off the motor cylinder, any tips on what to do to prevent it? It runs a few seconds fine and then the belt slips right off, and the belt that I got has the same measurements as original, so what might the problem be? Any quick fixes?
If you measured the worn belt, it might have stretched by 5-8% from the original length. Thus the new belt could be too large. I can't find a reference to the original Technics SG2500L belt. However one site, http://www.turntablebelts.com/panatech.htm , suggests that the appropriate belt may be the FBM 23.6" (60 cm). This is the generic belt for a range of Technics turntables. If they list a turntable model, then they know a different belt is needed.
The best way to measure the belt length is to wrap a string or wire around the belt path on the turntable. Follow that path exactly. Mark the point where you overlap the string or wire. (In case you keep your fingers on the end of the string, mark both the start and end points by drawing your line across both sections of the overlapping string.) Remove the string or wire and lay it flat. Measure the length from one mark to the other. That's your true belt length.
I hope this helps.

SOURCE: all my vinyl sounds warped on turntable
Most common problem is the belt getting soft, especially if it has sat for a long time. It will get a weak spot where it sat on the drive pulley and every time the turntable goes around and hits that weak spot it will slow down a little making it sound like a warped album.
The belts are usually very easy to replace. Usually just lift off the turntable or there might be a small clip on the center pin, then it lifts off. Replacement belts can be ordered from several places, as shown in this search... http://www.google.com/search?&q=SL-B200+Technics+turntable+belt

above video should help. if your platter is "stuck" then call them for tips. also make sure it does NOT say "direct drive" on the front of the unit.
presuming you are talking about the SL-H350 as in the body not the SL-DZ1200 as in the title

I have a Linn LP12. At least in the case of my turntable, that's just how you are supposed to use it (i.e. this is what the manual says). You could get a replacement belt f you like, but I would guess it will not make a difference - that is, I think you do not need a replacement belt.
However, in my case I don't have to be very careful about the start-up push on the turntable, just one tweak to get it rotating at about the right speed is enough in my case.

The SL1600MK2 is a direct drive turntable. Meaning that there are multiple electronic components which make it turn. With that said, the only place you can start is the main circuit board. Unfortunately, this will not be an easy diagnosis without the proper testing tools - multimeter, and a scope to get you started.
Otherwise, you'll have to take it to a service technican for repair.
Unfortunately, all parts for this model are discontinued, so if it's something that is specific to this unit, it will be very hard to source parts.
