Henry, et al. I thought you told us long ago that the motor of the TT81, while it may or may not be absolutely identical to that of the TT101, is also coreless. (I made a claim that it was not, which prompted you or someone else to post a brochure on the TT81 that seemed indeed to say it had a coreless motor.) In your initial post on this thread, I am unsure what you are saying vis a vis the TT81, coreless or not coreless? I do tend to like coreless motors, too, based on the performance of my L07D, as compared to my other DD turntables using multi-pole motors. Heretofore, I thought the major difference between the two is that the TT101 has a
bi-directional servo, can correct speed if either too fast or too slow,
whereas the TT81 servo is only reading "too slow".
A question, if not a plea, to HWS: Have you got "a guy" who can work on my TT101? I'd love to get it up and running, and I have a pretty good idea where the problem lies, just not the knowledge to identify it specifically and fix it. So far as I know, it does not need a new master chip, but I do have a few spares of those, if that were to be the case. Like Halcro says, I gave a spare chip to another frustrated TT101 owner in Germany, still waiting for his results.
