Lewm: " Where the heck did you get these nice photos?"All photos came from the Amp8.com website. You'll see more pix if you click on any of the links I posted earlier that says "ＳＰ−１０ＭＫⅢ". They are all hi-rez images so it will take a long time to load. The Vintage Knob, the website on all things Japanese, links many pictures to the Amp8.com site, too. It's a repair shop so the pictures are quite valuable in dissecting a unit. I am not repairing anything but those pictures are like porn to me as a gearhead. :-)
Some more pictures of the motor and bearing:

The motor connector (CN598) is a 12-wire type plus the 2-wire connector (CN504) for the servo.

Since you're an owner of a Kenwood L-07D, you might be interested in checking out hi-rez pix of its innards, too.
