@lbelchev, Thanks for the information. From the literature, it's obvious that there is a fair bit of thought that went into the motor construction. I peaked into the motor housing recently, having had the turntable for almost twenty years. While not an electrical engineer, the general construction inside the housing is impressive. Somehow it doesn't square with the criticism that the motor is less than stellar. I realised that this is a very amateurish observation.
Recently, with the help of @ct0517 fine tuning the thread drive, I have been experiencing good results, i.e. stable pitch, with the stock motor. I still use a Sutherland Light Strobe. The indication from the strobe is that the speed is consistent, but not table at 33,33rpm,
Finally I have a question: where can I find the 'Sound Practice'? Is this a newsletter put out by JC Verdier. Can't seem to find anything on the website.
