New motor for Nottingham Interspace

Hi all,

The motor of my Nottingham Interpsace turntable is noisy and I haven't been able to get rid of it. So I'm thinking of either replacing it or "upgrading" to either the Teres lower priced battery operated one or the Origin Live DC motor. Any recommendations?

I use a Bluenote arm and Benz Glider cartridge...

Thanks!

Beezer, could it be bearing noise? The bearing and shaft is supposed to have oil periodically added to it.

The noise is definitely from the motor and everything's level. I guess I'll call the Nottingham distributor...

I have also noticed noise form my interspace motor though faint. And yes everything is aligned. It seems intermittent but my dealer told me if it is a problem the warranty will replace it. Love the table, just need to get rid of the overrated Rega arm.

I don't know if Nottingham is using the old or new area code standardization. I think it's written above with the old version.

I got a lot of the "you should buy a VPI they have better motors" crap when I looked around. Ha! It's not a Ferrari - and bigger isn't always better. Seems like a major selling point of the Nott's are their motors.

And don't say, Yeah, just ask his wife.
