HELP Musical Life basic Turntable

I just got a great deal on a Musical Life Basic turntable from a fellow Audiogoner, now I know why, The motor-unit is running way to fast in both 33 and 45 positions. I sent the unit to Germany to have Michael Stolz the designer of the turntable repair it and he turned to be a real flake. My motor-unit was returned a month later in peaces. If any one has had this problem could you please let m know what type of motor he is using mine has no part number which is all in need to find another to replace it.

THE OUTBOARD RECTANGULAR BOX TYPE MOTORS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS FROM THE START. THEY HAVE BEEN CHANGING THEM THROUGH WARRANTY WITH CLEARAUDIO MOTORS. MUSICAL LIFE HAS BEEN USING MANY CLEARAUDIO PARTS IN THEIR TABLE DESIGN. IF YOU DONT WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY BUY AN AC SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR DIRECTLY FROM A SELLER OR MANUFACTURER. ALL OF THESE MOTORS ARE STANDARD IN THE MODERN TURNTABLE WORLD AND YOU COULD LITERALLY USE ONE FROM ALMOST ANY TT COMPANY. ITS QUALITY MIGHT VARY THOUGH DEPENDING ON WHO MADE IT.
HERE IS A LINK TO EUROPEAN SELLER OF PARTS.
I WAS QUOTED $110 US FOR THE HIGH QUALITY PREMO TT MOTOR
