Thanks for the info! Have either of you had any experience with purchasing motors directly through airpax or philips? Apparently 120/v/60hz 300rpm motors are still available. Might I also add that they are all less than 8 dollars. Makes you wonder why rega sells there own motors for 165-225...
220v/50hz to 120/60hz
I have read almost all afternoon to see if there was some way to replace the motor pulley on a planar 2 that is a 220v/50hz model running on a voltage converter (runs about 20% faster due to 60hz power). Are there aftermarket pulleys that make it possible to use this table in the US? Or is it inevitable that I will have to purchase a new motor. Lastly, if anyone has an old planar 2 or 3 motor laying around... you now know someone that will gladly take it off your hands. HELP!
