They sell aftermarket replacement metal pulleys in both 50&60 Hz types. Maybe they could tell you. Also, if you go this route, ask if they are returnable. I would be careful about pulling the old one off, trying to not damage the motor. It may be best to ask the Rega company, if you can't find a definite answer. Link.

220v/50hz to 120/60hz
I have read almost all afternoon to see if there was some way to replace the motor pulley on a planar 2 that is a 220v/50hz model running on a voltage converter (runs about 20% faster due to 60hz power). Are there aftermarket pulleys that make it possible to use this table in the US? Or is it inevitable that I will have to purchase a new motor. Lastly, if anyone has an old planar 2 or 3 motor laying around... you now know someone that will gladly take it off your hands. HELP!
