 The B&O schematic diagram from above is a bit different then what this turntable has: Phototransistor OPE2 is pulled up to 15v with resistor R47 (22k) and fed via resistor R48 (100k) to opamp IC1, which is configured as a 5v comparator (with a feedback of R49 (1M0). The output of the comparator is fed via a voltage divider (consisting of resistor R50 and R51) into the microcontroller. This is also different than what is designed in the circuit diagram from above. Maybe the 4013 schmitt-trigger was added in a later revision as a modulator for the speed signal.
-With the limited triggering possibilities of the oscilloscope, measuring both signals for a long duration while staring at it and wait until one could see where the root cause was, was quite hard. Also, while investigating this, the cause did not appear a single time while observing. Still without repairing anything specific, it was difficult to understand that defects would be fixed somehow spontaneously. Due to this long duration, the Saleae analogue capturing device was not suitable either, because of the limited sampling time. Then, to find the root-cause (Or at least prove that the cause was not anymore present), a simple but effective Arduino Nano microcontroller as watchdog was taken. With some software it was able to guard both signals and indicate if one or both signals would fail and if speed was deviating from 33 1/3rpm.

Due to this long duration, the Saleae analogue capturing device was less suitable either, because of the limitations with maximum sampling time: If the error would not happen a single time within at least 24 hours, then the issue could be declared as resolved.

 To reduce the influence of the Arduino measurement system, two opamps as voltage-followers were taken, fed with 20v to allow some margin above the 15v level to be measured:
