I found some info on the Vinyl Engine site.It states that a 56(560 Ohm))0.5 W resistor must be connected in series with the phasing capacitor which has a 0.39uf value.This is for the U.S 60HZ current.There is only 1 cap and i resistor.Here is the link http://www.vinylengine.com/manuals_turntable_motors.shtml
Rega P3 220V to 110V
Hi,
I recently purchased an "as new" Rega P3 motor and PCB which was pulled out of a damaged Rega P3. It's the new Premotec 9904 111 31304 motor and associated PCB. I'm located in the US and the motor was mounted in a P3 sold in the UK. Before mounting it, I powered the motor up and noticed two things. First, it vibrated like a PC Techs pager when the Melissa virus hit and second, there was almost no torque at all. I suspect the component values on the PCB are not ideal for the 110V used in the US but set for the 220V of the UK. Can anyone provide me with the resistor and cap values used in the US version? The PCB is stuffed with two caps and two resistors. Any help would be much appreciated.
