VPI motor makes loud pops when turned on & off


Can someone suggest a possible fix for this?
I have the large 300 rpm Aries motor with heavy gauge grounded plug, which appears to be fine. The switch is on the side of the motor. It is plugged into the same outlets as my other components. I can mute the signal completely each time I shut it off and turn it on, (for each lp side) but it is really annoying.
Suggestions are very much appreciated..

Thanks,
Joe

Joe, Mine only has one .68u in it and it has no pop whatsoever. Where does the .001 connect to? Is it in parallel with the .68u?
The value of the cap should be .68u 400v. You should be able to find it in RadioShack. Capacitors are not very precise. Any value around .68u will work. Just make sure it is 400v or higher.
