Sounds like the bushes are gone or going on the motor... but that they BOTH (all??) do this may point to some other problem. I would expect one to have done so - but if it is them both... how are they connected? Do they share a power-source? Have you dismantled the decks at any point? Or spilt anything on or near tehm?
Do you use them professionally or as a 'home' set-up?
Take the platter off, run them, and see what happens. Take a general look inside (with the power disconnected). Are there signs of the motor having burned out? Is there any debris near to the motors? Take them to a reputable audio/DJ dealer for a service.

There r 2 possible reasons.
1.ur Tone arm is worn out.
2.If u r usin Stanton Cartridge along with XL 500 it sometimes makes the needle to jump.Change the Cartridge to make it move smoother.
Try with these 2. Cos i feel that these r the only possiblities. If u still can't fix it..... Chuck this old crap n buy better stuff.

How is it driven, if its belt drive then maybe the belt is fucked? or if its driven directly by motor the motor is fucked? or in both cases a loose wire which dosent fully connect?

Your draw-string belt is wrapped around the speed selector...

The weight has shifted... could be things already mentioned, could be dirt or some sort of buildup.

If its belt drive, the belt might be worn and need replacing
