| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover - for sure. this AC motor experiment will hopefully yield some discernible result. i did put the motor on iso acoustics gaia feet last night. i had done this previously and hadn't liked it. but i guess i wanted to try again because the ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine will do if he ever replies to my initial enquiry. i cleaned up my platter. i didn't follow @dover great advice. i just used sone "gumption" (a cleaning paste). turns out most of the gunk was sticky tape residue i think from when it was poste... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i am now in correspondence with Thom Galibier. they provide la platine replacement motors. no real testimonials from la platine owners. anyway i have asked for a quote for a new drive. hopefully i can inform the group soon as it certainly seem... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @thekong how do you make the loop? do you use a glue? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 oh i read that article. it is excellent. i would love to try one their motors. but instead i will try and cobble together my custom creation comprising: - a crucible (8kg of mass, drillable and the right height) - 150 dollar AC mo... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lewm i can see where the idea comes from. in a way this is what i've got right now as i have globs of wax on the rim area (as well as micro gauges in metal). it sounds great! i think with tape it is a bit like linen in that it has no elasticity... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i would love the Kondo Ginga knotless string. I tried to get my son to make me a knotless linen loop but it never happened. i think one would need a jig and then to grind off excess glue which couldn't be too easy. i hope to have my new motor t... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Yes mtemur is a real expert but I have found no joy with the rubber belts. If you want ledoux1238 I can send you the belts I have for you to try. Along with some rocol x5 | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I really appreciate the detailed pointers here. I will do this. Thank you. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @dover suture silk is alot tougher than the silk thread i've been using. also i used floss as a belt once and it left wax all round the platter. i then used a very sharp chisel to try and remove this wax and i roughened the surface of the metal. ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine thank you @ledoux1238 - i also hope i never have to install that little thing, it would well and truly test my soldering skills. my linen diversion was prompted by me losing the silk thread. but also because silk doesn't last long. as it shre... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 thanks for the mailout. i would message but audigon seem to flagged our convo for moderation or something. apropos of nothing i want to say that for a belt - double silk is my recent preference but it doesn't last very long and there... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine have bought ac motor recommended by LDA guy. around $150 dollars to give it a shot. might mount in la platine motor for ease of use. in for a penny in for a pound and all that. i just don't fancy handing over thousands of dollars for a vitesse... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine great to hear the suggestions around platforms. mine is a later run of "granito" and i find it very appealing. but of course no room for the motor on that platform. i really would love to try a new motor. the vitesse is a special order so no t... |
