VPI motor makes loud pops when turned on & off

Can someone suggest a possible fix for this?
I have the large 300 rpm Aries motor with heavy gauge grounded plug, which appears to be fine. The switch is on the side of the motor. It is plugged into the same outlets as my other components. I can mute the signal completely each time I shut it off and turn it on, (for each lp side) but it is really annoying.
Suggestions are very much appreciated..

Thanks,
Joe

Joe,

Did you ever figure this out? I have one 0.68 mfd 100 VDC between the red and black across the dc motor, like you have. I also have one in series with the AC switch labeled F102KT 630PP1, whatever that means. Which one(s) need to be changed to what?
