motor replacement dilema

Hi Gang. The outboard motor for my Melco table is starting to act up. Unfortunately, the platter on my Melco is a 75 lb piece of solid brass and a larger diameter than a standard turntable platter. A typical outboard motor will not turn the platter at the correct speed. Any suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated here. cheers David

Ecclectique,

Time to return a favor - thanks for all of your Tube advice in the past for my Supratek Cortese - it was great help.

Check out the reference motor from Teres - http://www.teresaudio.com/ref-motor.html

It is a stand alone outboard that should be able to handle your 75 lb platter - It is a bit pricey but well worth it. The battery option (well worth the sonic improvement) will cost you between $ 90.00 -120.00 -

Call / email Chris Brady - great guy to deal with.

good luck.

Dave,

Glad to hear that you will be getting a Teres motor. Do let us all know how the sonics compare to your previous motor once you get it all set up.

Did you end up getting the Reference or the Series II motor ?

Tell Chris hello from Doug and me.
