Origin live makes motor replacement kits. I had one shipped from the UK directly to me for an Acoustic Signature table whose power supply had died and was not worth endlessly repairing. It turned into a fun project and now use it as a 2nd table with a mono cartridge.
Changing from European to American power supply on clearaudio emotion TT
Recently I purchased a clearaudio emotion TT on eBay from a European seller for what I thought was a great price. However, upon arrival I realized that it's motor is rigged for European voltage and not compatible with American voltage. NChanging a power chord did not fix the issue as the platter spins at somewhere near 40 rpm which leaves records sounding like the chipmunks. Is it possible to change the motor? Is there anyone familiar with clearaudio products that could let me know what solutions are available? eBay issued a no fault refund to both me and the seller so I essentially got the TT for free but I would really love to get it up and running as it would be a massive upgrade for me.
Cheers and thanks for reading,
Shane

Sell it back to the EU? Otherwise, a potential bug chase....$s' unknown.... Another case of Buyer Beware/Look Hard Before Leap, always learned the hard way....so it seems....sorry that's your fate, @oldshanelistens |
I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to this thread.
Brightside is the satisfy tonearm is way better than what I have now.
Darkside is unless I up my physics game quite a bit I don't think I will be able to figure out that pulley math.
Selling back to EU also a sound idea as whatever money gained is filed in the plus column.
Again thanks to all who responded. |
