Technics SP 15 SP 25

I purchased both tables recently. I sent the SP 15 to have a plinth made and have a arm mounted. While the work was being done I had the opportunity to purchase a NOS SP 25 I also plan to use. My question is do they both have the same motor?

Then you have to buy SP-20 too, it's the rarest. 
Owned a few and enjoyed them, love that black finishing

I’ve owned an SP-25 with the factory base for 30 years. 
Still performing flawlessly.

I also own both, and while the SP-15 is audibly better, it also has more tweaky electronics. Mine still works fine, but many don't. A fully functioning SP-25 is better than a dodgy SP-15. Totally convenient they fit in the same plinth.

Armstrong, have you recapped your SP 15? There really is no reason for it to be dodgy. It is not in the nature of a technics turntable to be dodgy. However turntables with 30 or 40-year-old capacitors inside can be dodgy.
