Need help on below issues:
How to address this issue.
Can I suggest to lubrication of motor (as some motors should be be lubricated
Would Zorric spray can help here
Any more pointers welcome

Another point: Tried searching servicing manual, But There is limited info of this model on net. So any similar TT model have similar motor, platter design?
Thanks

If its a direct drive, speed issues are usually caused by contact problems in switches and potentiometers. A good clean up should sort out the issue. Not sure about the internals of the COGRAM but not a good idea to lubricate the motor unless it is an approved option by the manufacturer.

May be a lubrication issue (dryness) try one or two drops of recommended lubricant

As I understand, the direct drive system adopted in Cogram 4000 is quite complicated according to my mechanic. I don't know the technical aspects but it is supposed to use a different system from many other DD turntables
