Teres Audio motor help!

So... I am trying to unmothball my turntable. Teres model 245 w/ older motor with battery power. In the process, have discovered that the speed control is haywire. Powering up results in extreme speeds and never “settles down” Don’t know if the sensor is bad, chip malfunction, or just time to get a new drive. Problem is I can’t get in touch with Chris Brady, who is the Teres guy. I think I have the correct email, but no response. Anybody out there in Audiogon land able to help? With contacting Chris, repairing the motor, or recommending a suitable replacement? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I may change my moniker to "Leek".

Sorry, I thought that the Redpoint, Teres, and Galibier turntables had a common origin, from a group of guys in Colorado and vicinity who started out to build their own turntables and ended up in separate businesses.  Push come to shove, Thom Mackris at least is still in business, and his motors and controllers ought to work fine with a Teres.  Beyond that, Thom is a kind and generous person who might be able to help with a Teres, or not.

Why not contact Tom Mackris of Galibier?
