Any Oracle Delphi MK1 expert here? Motor problems...


Greetings! 

I started working on a Oracle Delphi MK1, for some reason I can't have any response from the 33 and 45 variable resistors (the ones on the back of the motor, any suggestions what it could be? I would love to keep the original motor! 

 

Thank you in advance!

@joenies thank you for your response.

I have been in communication with Oracle, and as it right now I can't afford a new motor from them (it would be my best option tho), I took it apart and test all the components, some of them where out of specs, but the most important/concerning is my power adapter, according to the front label, output voltage should be 27vdc, after testing true output power is 35.84vdc, way to much, I just ordered all the bad components and a new power adapter, I hope this fixes the problem, until I can send my turntable to Oracle. 

Thank you!

Joe,

Yes is the pancake type, I have put some time indeed. When I bought it, the rpm was slightly off, didn't keep the right speed after turning it off. That's when I decided to take apart the motor to check the circuit. Hopefully replacing all bad/ off specs components it can maintain the right rpm. Thank you for that Information,  may I ask how much those power supply cost? I also bought the service kit, I know is an old turntable but I love how it looks. I just finished fixing the original dust cover too, it looks great!
