The size of the idler wheel will not matter!  If you calculate
the ratio of the idler wheel to the motor spindle, and then 
the ratio of the turntable to the idler, you will see that it
cancels out:

       Spindle         Idler            Spindle
      --------   X   ----------   =    ---------   =  Speed
        Idler         Turntable         Turntable

The problem has to be friction, slippage, or mis-match
of the spindle-to-turntable size.  This isn't in a 50 Hz
area, is it?  Maybe the spring that enlarges the spindle
for use in foreign areas has fallen off?
