Replacement Motor for a Vintage Thorens TD 160 Turntable

My son owns a vintage Thorens TD 160 Turntable. The platter is slipping on start-up an on play. My son has isolated the problem to the motor. Any suggestions on where to source a replacement motor?? Thanks

I would take the motor apart and clean all the surfaces, and lube the spinning parts, you may get lucky. Seems you need to drill out the rivets, no biggie https://www.ebay.com/itm/Thorens-Sonceboz-Motor-Upgrade-Kit-TD-145-147-160-166-also-B-O-Bang-Olufsen...
