Replacement Motor for a Vintage Thorens TD 160 Turntable

Just figured out that the large cap in mine was probably labeled in MF terms and 330MF would be .33UF (as that which came up in my search).

My recollection of 30-40 was most likely (in reality) 300-400.

oldhvymec:

The brief description of "slipping" by the OP, via his son, does describe the problem I experienced years ago in that the platter hesitated and just did not seem to want to go/turn.

As I understand it you are suggesting that the belt spindle wheel may be loose from the spindle, which would be easy to check as the deck can be operated without the main/outer platter.

LOL I forgot about them running backwards.. I've seen that a time or two..
 Cap kit, knock kit, belt and dampening kit are about 125.00.

"330MF" = 330 microfarads.  It's an unfortunate fact that in some cases some companies abbreviated "microfarad" with "MF".  Otherwise, you might think MF means "millifarads", in which case 330MF would equal 330,000 uF, not .33uF.  That would be one big mother of a capacitor.
