Rega Planar 3 50th anniversary

@goodlistening64 "Rega cartridges do not require shims. VTA is not an issue with Rega for that fact and the cartridge sits square to the record." Again, why Rega has shims available for their tonearms?

 "Can you provide me with a motor type and location on the Rega P6? Do tell me where that information resides...perhaps you are better at finding info than I am?" You can't be serious or you like to be argumentative!

From Rega web site:

Nice video. Says nothing about location of/and or motor type. Doesn't even show the bottom of the plinth. If you can't get me the motor type, just say so. I own one, so without taking apart to find a part number and voiding the warranty, we both will remain in the dark on this issue. Unless you have an epiphany?

A shim would be used for high-profile cartridges, but not required for any Rega cartridge. Not sure how that makes the TT any less desirable considering the Rega sound is all inclusive, but I have seen many modified as well, usually with Hana or Sumiko carts.

@goodlistening64 at 1:06 it is clearly stated, also there is type of motor mentioned on Rega website P6 page.

It seems that idiom "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" is applicable here.

The video provides the same specification as in, um, the specifications! 

If you need a new motor, from Pro-Ject, or Rega, your gonna have to call the manufacturer of the table. There is scant information in the specs because they don't want you to be able to buy one off the shelf. Heck, if all info was available for public consumption, you could just make your own Rega! Some motors are proprietary to an exact table, like the Pro-Ject 9. But I have found the Rega line is equally mysterious about a replacement motor for my RP6...but I already knew that...and that you were going to fail miserably!

To find motor, start at the platter edge and follow the belt until you come to a pulley. That’s the motor.
