Guide overview

Before you begin

If you're experiencing slower-than-normal or inconsistent playback speed, you may have an issue with either the drive belt or the motor. Replacing the drive belt is relatively simple since you installed this when first setting up the turntable. If that doesn't seem to fix the problem, swapping out the motor should resolve it for you.

Step 1

Remove cover

⌕

Use a flathead screwdriver bit to push the tab on the back of the cover hinges

Step 2

Remove the platter, drive belt, and sub-platter

⌕

Ensure your tonearm is held in place by the rest clip to avoid damage to the tonearm or the rest of the turntable.

Step 3

Unset motor from turntable body

⌕

A #1 Phillips-head bit is recommended to remove these screws
Remove and set aside the rubber washers so they don't fall into the turntable body.

Step 4

Remove the main circuit cover

⌕

Flip over the unit and remove the six screws holding the black plastic cover in place.
A #2 Phillips-head bit is recommended for these screws, though a #1 will work if necessary.

Step 5

Remove motor from circuit

⌕

There are no latches on the PCB connector. Simply pull on the connector to remove from the main circuit board.
The motor has the serial number: EG-530SD-3F

Step 6

Insert replacement motor

⌕

If your replacement part does not include a connector or the necessary wires, you may need to remove and re-solder the new motor to the existing wires.

Step 7

Put everything back together

⌕

Reattach the main circuit cover with the six screws from earlier.
Add the rubber washers back into the grooves around the motor, then look through the washer and line it up with the small holes on the motor (see attached photo).
Reattach the dust cover and you're good to go!
