Both 1210s are doing this or just one?

Could be a number of things, possibly a bad motor -- hopefully something less serious. Take it to be serviced. Did you ever perchance run them with the platter off? That would be an issue . .

Also, 1210s have voltage selectors under the platter. That should be set correctly, and if you plugged it into a 220 outlet and it's on 120v, well - it's screwed.

Man I left NY like 7yrs ago, but in downtown Brooklyn on Fulton St.(where the Albee Sq. Mall is at) there were mad record shops and dj providers on that whole block. Check them out they'll fix it dirt cheap but you gotta shop around for the real cats. Take the train to Pacific St. and walk from there.
