Turntable runs at 34 RPM

I've bought a friend's cheap Audio Technica turntable and I noticed that, in comparing the sound to an mp3 or a CD, the turntable is a little higher pitched. I counted off the rotations for a minute and got 34, not 33, so I guess it's running just a smidgen too fast. Does anyone have an easy hack to get it back to 33? It's belt driven and doesn't have a fine speed adjustment. I've already tried adding a thin strip of tape to the drive wheel and the table itself to no avail. It's always 34.
