| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Indeed, Tom.And, thanks for the tip. Happy Thanksgiving!... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Actually, it was too fast at first (don't ask me how or why); then, lately, it almost wasn't turning at all: that's what called my attention on the rod and the pulley. I guess I somehow got lost into the measuring and the swapping of parts between... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Finally, some closure: I have both turntables (mmf-7 and mmf-7.1) spinning correctly now. After a lot of tweaking, I finally put a little (toilet) paper on the small rod on top of the motor before easing the pulley, giving it a snug fit. Since the... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster No, I didn't. Thanks for letting me know. I will have to pass however. The VPI purchase will come some time in the second quarter of 2010 (at the latest), preferably a ScoutMaster. Thanks again... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I am back with the conclusion: there isn't any.Twad was right: the mmf-7 is a joke. With the new motor, it almost does not spin at all. I don't see any reason to use my time trying to understand what's wrong with this turntable. I'll be using the ... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I am currently away from home; I will resume all (measurements, swapping parts, etc.) upon my return next week. Thanks all. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I swapped the motor and, surprise, surprise: it is now much slower, almost not turning at all. I am going to change the platter and the sub-platter now.Did I say weird? | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I am going to swap the motor, the belt, the sub-platter and the platter and see what happens. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Nope, not at all; he was very happy with his mmf-7.1: just the upgrade bug. I simply asked at the perfect time.You seem not really happy with Music Hall turntables: may I know why? | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I jus tried my friend's mmf-7.1 in my system and it played beautifully: no speed problems whatsoever. I have offered him to buy it and he agreed (he is going back to Rega). But, I still need to make the mmf-7 work: I'll give it to my older daughte... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Well, I'll wait until I receive the new motor some time next week.And, Dweller, I emailed (member) TVAD asking him to participate in the dialogue. Let's wait and see what he will bring to the discussion. Thanks. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Dweller, I did some research on the web about variable voltage modifiers (variac) and found them to be a very interesting item and not pricey at all (I confess that I didn't know anything about them before). Would you care to recommend a particula... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster As a matter of fact, I did: no change.The small pulley is clean, the larger one too (as I have tried to correct that speed problem with a Pro-Ject Speed Box II).I am expecting another motor from Music Hall, but at this rate, I doubt that will chan... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Thanks, Al.I have that reading when the power adapter is connected, but with the motor not running. I have the same with the mmf-7.1.I don't get what's wrong; there must be a rational explanation (and a solution), I'm sure. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster One more additional bit of information. The multi-meter reads 18 volts at the motor's power adapter output.Question: is there any kind of belt inside the motor that might be causing the problem (because it's dilated or something)?. It's definitely... |
