Many things--Assuming you are speaking of 45rpm records only--electrically, a bad motor condenser ( not common), failure of the "P" contacts to open. Mechanically, lack of proper lubrication, worn bearings, worn and/or poor thrust bearing adjustments. The needle brush (or anything else) hitting the record's edge. Clamp arm failing to hold tight. Can't think of more at the moment.
