@ira2000 , Micro Seiki knows pretty well what it is doing. Unless something is not working right I would leave it alone. Motors and control units have to be matched to each other in many ways. You can not just ram a motor onto any controller. You can buy controller/motor combinations that have wide speed ranges so they can be tuned to any platter. You would probably get more bang for your buck spending the money on a better tonearm and cartridge combo.
Precision Motor Controller
Hi my Fellow Audiogoners,
I have Micro Seiki 1500VG with a outboard power supply/motor. I'm sure most of you know what my 'table looks like. My question is can I hook up something like a Walker or VPI precsion motor contoller. Would I just hook up the precision controller before the motor unit? Does it override the 33/45 controls on my MIcro. Has anybody, by chance, done that to their MS? The reason I'm not interested in changing out the motor is the unit also controls the vacuum hold down, and I just had that, amazingly, fixed. So I don't want to sacrifice that aspect of the Micro. It's amazing how the sound is improved by having a perfectly flat reecord for the arm/cartridge to traverse.
Thanks,for reading this and should you have any answers, talk to me!
