Pro-ject 1.2 turntable has ground to a halt

I have an approximately 10 year old Pro-Ject 1.2 turntable. Over the
last year, the big heavy platter has begun scraping as it spins, and
has finally ground to a halt. If I elevate the platter, by putting a
shim (two old CDs) between it and the sub-platter, that elevates it
enough that it spins again, but with lots of wobble. Obviously not an
ideal fix.
I don't know what's happening, but I'm guessing the sub-platter (which
is what actually spins, driven by the motor/belts) has descended/sunk
a bit.
Has anyone experienced anything similar with this turntable? Is there
any way to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Strange, I thought the Project 1.2 was not a suspended subchassis turntable,
I though it was very basic much like the Rega Planar 3?
Is this not the case?
If it is then the only answer is that the bearing housing on the underside
has come unscrewed.
If is is a suspended subchassis design then it sound like one of the springs
has either broken or come unfixed.
