It's plausible that the record is slipping due to insufficient friction between it and the platter. Especially given the heavy, crude tonearm.
Just wondering - if you don't know much about record players, but are interested in repairing them - I don't get it. You just want to learn about these players? They were not made for music reproduction, they were not meant for that.
I would strongly advise you to quit playing your records on that turntable; you are almost certainly doing
permanent damage to them every time you play them.
Used turntables are not a good idea, because they usually come with problems; expecially cheap ones.
It is foolish to save some money on the turntable and destroy all of your records.
A turntable that old is almost certain to have wornout bearings.
You can get an Audio-Technica LP60 from Needle Doctor for $149.
BTW- that link you posted is infected with a virus according to my anti-virus software; you should remove it.
