HELP Musical Life basic Turntable


I just got a great deal on a Musical Life Basic turntable from a fellow Audiogoner, now I know why, The motor-unit is running way to fast in both 33 and 45 positions. I sent the unit to Germany to have Michael Stolz the designer of the turntable repair it and he turned to be a real flake. My motor-unit was returned a month later in peaces. If any one has had this problem could you please let m know what type of motor he is using mine has no part number which is all in need to find another to replace it.

I just purchased a Musical Life Basic from a fellow Audiogoner and he's not including a belt with it. The table also comes with a RB 300 tonearm.

This table will become a member of my family of two tables, to be used primarily with an Ortofon 2M Black and BAT phono amp.

Does anyone have suggestions for a better tonearm and a type of belt to use with this table?

I have been googling for a Fortissimo, but not having much luck. As for a belt, I have heard mono filament works best with this table.....fishing line.
Sold the Musical Life, and bought a Bluenote Goldenote Bellavista with a brand new Soundsmith Carmen MI cartridge
