Power Steering problem 700 1987

My power steering is "catching" occasionally at low speed. The belt is in good condition, clean, properly tight (about a half inch of play, correct?), and there's sufficient fluid, but when the problem occurs I can hear a squeeling sound as if the belt was slipping. Does this mean the PS pump is on its way out? Or could the harmonic balancer make that kind of noise? Or something else?

Thanks for any ideas!
