This is a high dollar turntable. If you want, take the screws out, open it up and check that the direct drive speed gear is in place. Other than that I would take it to a repair shop. There's one guy on ebay selling a new one for $500.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/Technics-SL-1200MK2-Manual-Direct-Drive-Turntable-New_W0QQitemZ320132536688QQihZ011QQcategoryZ64448QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
SOURCE: teac turntable plays too fast
This sounds like a motor speed control problem. It could be either the motor itself or an electronic fault. So unless you know a bit about electronics and know how to use a soldering iron etc, then the answer to your question is no.
SOURCE: the turntable turns very slow when set at 33
the motor needs cleaning,along with the inner shaft on the spindle and a new table belt will help they glaze and slip
SOURCE: How do you adjust the speed of a Memorex 2601M?
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.

hi,
somewhere on that player is a switch for 78-45-33 rpm the speed switch look up around by the tone arm above by where the record goes, it may not be on the front. switch it to the correct record you have 45's are small. 78's are medium and 33rpms are the big records..

Thanks for the follow-up. I sold it in a garage sale for $15 with a "needs repair" sign on it. The guy who bought it only wanted to play 45s so it was perfect for him.
the belt is best accessed from the top by removing the platter disc or at least the mat to observe what is going on.
does the speed switch feel right? solid?
do you see a 'fork' around the belt near the motor on the left side? if so this would move the belt up n down the motor shaft.
