Any Oracle Delphi MK1 expert here? Motor problems...

Greetings 

Sounds like you put a lot of time into your TT. Good for you. Experience is the best teacher.

Is your motor the pancake type?

‘Since you have been in touch with Oracle, they are most helpful with any of your issues. 
I only used the wall wart power supply for a very short period. On my MK 2 I purchased the ModSquad power supply. A good power supply makes a big difference. I no longer use the ModSquad PS. If you can get your motor working and it’s the same type that was on my MK 2, I would consider letting go of the ModSquad. I no longer have a use for it. The MK 6 uses a different motor. I purchased the Turbo PS for the MK 6.

When setting up your TT make sure everything is level.

Joe,

Yes is the pancake type, I have put some time indeed. When I bought it, the rpm was slightly off, didn't keep the right speed after turning it off. That's when I decided to take apart the motor to check the circuit. Hopefully replacing all bad/ off specs components it can maintain the right rpm. Thank you for that Information,  may I ask how much those power supply cost? I also bought the service kit, I know is an old turntable but I love how it looks. I just finished fixing the original dust cover too, it looks great!

Hello Edwin,

 I payed around $400.00 for my PS but that was 40 years ago. I believe Oracle no longer uses dc motors. The Turbo PS I purchased for my MK 6 was around $2K.

When you get your motor up and running properly, let me know if you have an interest in the ModSquad PS I have for the pancake motor. Maybe we can talk about it off line? I no longer have a use for it.

‘Best of luck to you on rebuilding that gorgeous TT. I really liked my MK 2 TT and my new MK 6 is a great TT.
