Sputniks I guess you have a Delphi I with a failing motor.
May I suggest you contact Chris Brady http://www.teresaudio.com to see if you can purchase a Teres motor pod for the Oracle. You could remove the rubber rim on the platter and drive the platter with tape or string.
I have not tried this but I have always wanted to but have not gotten around to doing this yet. One of the projects on the backburner. Check with Chris to see if this is feasible. Also check that the platter rim is flat and even after removing the rubber rim. If this can be done then it is a relatively cheap solution and will give you dead accurate speed. You will not even need to use a strobe.
Hope this helps you out.
