Re: I OWN A 9208 ELECTRA BRAND UNIT AND THE TURNTABLE IS...
Sounds like there could be something stuck on the belt drive pulley on the motor. If there's too much gunk it will run faster. Has it always run too fast?

If it is belt driven it could be that the belt is not moving to the smaller diameter pulley for the slower speed. But the unit is new so I would just return it for an exchange at the store it was purchased from. It is new - the heck with a repair - just get another one!
Probably as long it produces DC. However you will have to adjust the speed. As the unit was set for a certain voltage which wouldn't change. It will either go fast or slow depending on what the original voltage was. The speed adjuster will either be two presets one for each speed that could be located under the turntable base (covered by a sticker) or on the power board of the deck. Or they might be on the motor itself.
If it says your speed setting in on 33, than you have a problem with the speed control inside of the turntable, there is not much you can do in that area. 33 is the slowest speed too, so it seems like it is stuck on 45 or 78. Call Teac if you are still under warranty.
there are two small holes under the unit labeled 33 and 45 that control speed. im guessing youre mainly playing lps so use a flathead jewlers screw to adjust the 33 setting until you get the right speed
Have a look at the bottom of the turntable. This type of turntable often have speed adjusters. They might be covered by a sticky label or something. If you can't see that go inside by removing the bottom and look inside for them. There should be two, one for each speed.
Go inside and look at the main board you should see two/three presets, one for 45 and one for 33 etc.
If not look at the top of the motor for a small hole, it might be covered with a label.
The drive circuits on this unit are probably failing. Have you had any service done to it recently, or at all, ever? If so, this might be the problem. The caps have probably dried out. Once they dry out, they go pretty fast afterwards causing variance in speed. A good tech should be able to replace the caps, and get your unit back to original specs.
