verdier Platine or Nottingham Analogue hyperspace

Hi @buyersum , I know this is an old thread, and I hope this finds you. I wondered if you could provide the circuit to the DC conversion on the PV stock motor?

Thanks!

These days you might not want to convert to DC. You might instead want to add an AC motor controller a la Phoenix Engineering, now SOTA Eclipse. In 2007, similar products were not available.

If you PM me, I will send you the circuit information. 
Just looking at this thread. 
A lot of misinformation re: Platine setup - anyways very typical.

@lewm, Thanks for the SOTA tips. I have been been looking at options for the stock motors ever since my latest system upgrades, Eminent Technology LFT-8b and a pair of Von Gaylord Nirvana 130W tube amps. The fluctuation in speed has become audibly disturbing on several records. And looking into replacement motors was, I thought,  the way to go.

However, Rudolph Ploeger of Callas Audio made a strong case of sticking with the stock motor with modification, hence my query. Frankly, I am quite uncertain which way to go. Perhaps as @ct0517 noted, a lot of misinformation with the PV's. I will PM a.s.a. I post this.

SOTA sells a 3-phase AC synchronized motor plus the drive amplifier plus an outboard tachometer that feeds back to the drive amplifier, as an all in one kit, called the Eclipse. That’s what I’d suggest for the Verdier.
