SME table owners - ever have a motor go out?

Hi, I have a SME 20/2. I upgraded to the new power supply a while back.

I can hear the motor make noises/rubbing sound and when it does the speed lock fluctuates and it definately changes the sound from the speakers...

I am the original owner, had the table for about 8-10 years. And have done the maintenance oiling on the motor per the manual. 2 drops ever 200 hours or so

How much is a new motor? Doesn't look hard to swap it out...Thanks in advance

I agree with Rgurney. Contact SME via e-mail. They are good about responding. I have an SME Model 10 and its manual recommends 1 drop once a year for the motor. The spindle should get one drop every 1000 hours. My table is about 4 years old and I listen about 500 hours per year. Very reliable. The very slight sound a get from the motor is I think the belt rubbing against the motor pulley. My ear has to be one inch away for me to hear anything. Good Luck.
