Any Oracle Delphi MK1 expert here? Motor problems...

Greetings 

‘I’m sorry to say but that motor is 40+ years old.

you can try to replace the resistors. I would recommend upgrading to a new motor. Get into the Oracle website and view all their upgrades, or call them. Great people to deal with.

Besides the motor the only other thing to replace would be the truss pad. As you know Oracle makes rebuild kits for the suspension system.

 I had a MK 2 for 40 years and the motor (pancake motor DC) finally passed away in 2022. I decided my best option was to trade in my MK 2 for a new MK 6. Wonderful TT. 
Sorry I can’t help you more.

Sounds like you put a lot of time into your TT. Good for you. Experience is the best teacher.

Is your motor the pancake type?

‘Since you have been in touch with Oracle, they are most helpful with any of your issues. 
I only used the wall wart power supply for a very short period. On my MK 2 I purchased the ModSquad power supply. A good power supply makes a big difference. I no longer use the ModSquad PS. If you can get your motor working and it’s the same type that was on my MK 2, I would consider letting go of the ModSquad. I no longer have a use for it. The MK 6 uses a different motor. I purchased the Turbo PS for the MK 6.

When setting up your TT make sure everything is level.

Hello Edwin,

 I payed around $400.00 for my PS but that was 40 years ago. I believe Oracle no longer uses dc motors. The Turbo PS I purchased for my MK 6 was around $2K.

When you get your motor up and running properly, let me know if you have an interest in the ModSquad PS I have for the pancake motor. Maybe we can talk about it off line? I no longer have a use for it.

‘Best of luck to you on rebuilding that gorgeous TT. I really liked my MK 2 TT and my new MK 6 is a great TT.
