Technics SL-D2 Turntable Slooooow

My turntable is not working too well. It's difficult to get it spinning. I'm told it does not have a belt. I would guess then that it has a motor. Does anyone know about the repairs for it? Could this potentially be more than a motor replacement?

Well worth taking the circlip of the centre spindal, lifting off the platter and giving it a good clean, and perhaps a drop of froil (very thin oil, available from model shops)

There is an electrical adjustment, but cleaning it worth doing first.

The most common problems on these involve cleaning the controls and switches. The speed select, speed vernier adjustments, possibly the power switch and internal coarse speed adjustments.
