I have the same turntable and after I replaced the belt it seems the spinning works the wrong way around (not the direction). When the needle is in its "parked" position it turns, but when swung over the vinyl "playing surface" it stops...then somewhere near the center end of the recording area it starts spinning again.
Hmmmm, hard to say. Check to see that you installed the belt correctly around the small pulley and speed change arm. This turntable is junk (in my opinion) and I sold it soon after the belt replacement. Good luck.
