Have you been doing a lot of back cueing with this table? If so, have you removed the platter and checked the motor itself for sufficient torque? If not, pull off the platter and just grab hold off the main spindle to check for motor torque.
If the motor appears to be slowing down, and since it's a direct drive table, the problem you can wish for is in the servo system which is used to correct the speed. Otherwise, you probably will replace the motor.
Is it a syncronus motor, a capaitor across it, change the cap.
Apparently it is a DC motor; http://www.decks.co.uk/products/decks/products/decks/stanton/str880
