Teres Audio motor help!

Update:
Chris Brady of Teres fame responded yesterday and we are working on a fix. Thanks everyone for their suggestions and offers of help. 

I still love my Teres. I recently upgraded from an OL Silver to and OL Enterprise. Now I’d really like to find a lead-loaded or cocobolo platter (as mine is solid acrylic). Thought about having a Delrin platter machined that I could load with lead, but my outreach to a local precision machine shop goes unanswered (I haven’t pushed too hard, though). 

Thanks. I just reached out to him again.🤞

I’ve found Chris will get back to me eventually especially if I resend the message. 

My bad...

I may change my moniker to "Leek".

If the controller led stay red and can’t turn to green, first thing to check is the spindle shaft oil well, clean up the old oil and put in automatic transmission fluid for the bearing.

I've got one of the battery powered motor pods, with controller, exactly what you need. The motor is currently mounted in a larger mount that I made out of carbon fiber and padauk, I think it is, exotic hardwood. But I have the original black aluminum motor pod as well. Not the sensor, that I was unable to remove from my BDR plinth. But it sounds like you have a sensor, and the problem is the motor/controller.  

You are welcome to mine for not a lot more than shipping charges. PM if you're interested.

Spellcheck 😳

Your suggestion is appreciated, leek! I’ll reach out to him. Meanwhile, any response is appreciated.

Thanks, Tom. I am going to let this play out a little and see if I can pick up a contact for Chris or advice for a replacement. This is very frustrating. It all started when a housekeeper got a little overzealous with a duster and decapitated my vintage Grado The Statement cartridge...After a pandemic delay I decided on a Hana ML as a replacement and it has finally arrived, is installed, dialed in, and ready for a listen and now this...

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.

Lewm  I am pretty sure that redpoint and galiber never used Teres motor controllers.  I was at Peter's house when redpoint 1st started.  He was  changing the speed with a knob.  Can not remember if they where using Maxon motors or not.  

For the OP.  Get on the web and search down Teres literature.   There was  some trouble  shooting information there.  I would make sure that the battery  was fully charged  and Belt/tape/string adjusted properly.   Also I think there is a schematic  of the German DC controller  on the web.  Not sure how much help that would be but if it had values on it, it could help in trouble shooting. 

Enjoy the ride
Tom

P.S.
I think Millercarbon had some of the belt controllers  before his rim drive.  Maybe he will chime in.

Thanks! Would you mind explaining why? I’m vaguely acquainted with the Galibier name but don’t know their products or the intersection with Teres...

Why not contact Tom Mackris of Galibier?
