That’s why it’s always a good idea to have a turntable with a strobe light check on the side, and a pitch adjuster. That way you always know you’ve got the right speed.
I don't know what a strobe light check is, but I doubt that stuff existed back then. Problem solved when my last turntable when in the dumpster in 1997.
My daughter is getting into vinyl a bit now and I have to resist the urge to remind her that it sucked back then and it sucks now. Not seeing the point.
Stads,
It does NOT suck. It's warmer. I know we've been around on this, but the sound is warmer and fatter, at least to my ears. It's also the while album experience. The big liner notes and cover art, sitting and having a beer and looking at and reading the liner notes, it's an experience. CDs, for my money, are the perfect for sound quality, and small enough ("compact") to be portable. They also resist damage better. But I adore my vinyl collection.
I made it a point when I got back into vinyl, that I'd only buy my favorite albums. I'm a first-day CD buyer of most music I love. But I won't buy vinyl unless it's something I know intimately and know I love it enough to invest that money in it, and then know I'll invest my time in appreciating it. If your daughter is doing that with vinyl, then applaud her. 
If she's wasting her money to just roll on a fad, well, then that's ridiculous. 
Well, it is "warmer", all things being equal. But it's a trade off. There's a sort of comic nostalgia on the "tick, tick, tick" of the warp that comes around every revolution. There's the sort of comforting "tssssssssss" of the needle hiss as the record starts... but it's not something I want to hear every day in my listening. The "warmth" is like 5% warmer, or 10% warmer, but the trade off of not hearing all that ancillary noise is like 50% better or 60% better. My kid bought a Taylor Swift record from a pawn shop - chip off the old block!!! - and got it back and I had to teach her the "put a penny on the stylus" trick. Not great for the record itself, but the record itself wasn't in the best condition to begin with, so there you go.
Look, I work on cars; and I restored my '90 Jeep using as much stock stuff as I could. And my stepson was like "dude, you can put a brand new crate engine in there for $x hundred bucks!" and I'm like "but, no." So I get it. I do. And I'm not here to tell anyone else that they shouldn't get joy from this. But it's not for everyone. I much much much prefer my favorite albums like Clutching At Straws and Going For The One in the clean sound of digital.
EDIT: I do want to say, though, that I agree with the intangibles. I can remember putting on a record on my dad's stereo, with cool Koss headphones, and poring over the album jackets. 42 minutes was the standard and a perfect "dose" of music, IMO, and to some degree, we've lost that in the CD age, I agree. But honestly, for that part, I was more married to cassettes, because that's what I listened to in the car. Number of the Beast on one side, Piece of Mind on the other!
