Turntable Motor Replacement


Have you ever had to replace your turntable's motor?

If you have - may I ask - why?

The motor that I am using with my machine looks like it needs replacement after just 2.5 months! The bushes is worn down. It is a Crouzet from France...

Thank you,

NOTE: My motors bushes is worn - it is a AC synchronous motor with no brushes at all. Factory sealed.

I am definitly worried - this is a brand-new motor and it had cost me a bloody fortune.

It does keep its speed perfectly but it is clunky and noisy and you can feel the wear on the shaft. I should know - I designed the whole machine.

I actually want to do a high-speed DC motor for the machine - with ball bearings!

Thanx
