Turntable Motor Replacement


Have you ever had to replace your turntable's motor?

If you have - may I ask - why?

The motor that I am using with my machine looks like it needs replacement after just 2.5 months! The bushes is worn down. It is a Crouzet from France...

Thank you,

Sometimes motor brushes can be bad, I had replaced many in Printing Press motors and that was the exact same symptom, I know they are hardly related but brushes are brushes, clean the residue off and replace the brushes...it just might be a bad brush. After I replaced 3 sets on a German Press the tech informed me they had learned of bad brushes in the supply chain.
NOTE: My motors bushes is worn - it is a AC synchronous motor with no brushes at all. Factory sealed.
