I presume the motor has a crowned pulley?
There's a good explanation of how these work on this page: https://woodgears.ca/bandsaw/crowned_pulleys.html
(Be warned - there's a lot of good stuff on there. Prepare to lose an hour or two
)
Anyway, if the pulley is crowned, you have wonder what is pulling it away from the centre of the pulley. An obvious thought is the motor mounting - is the spindle of the motor parallel to the rim of the turntable, or is it leaning in, as a result of worn grommets, etc?
