Linn LP12 Valhalla 45 rpm

I agree with Palasr. I also am intrigued by the OL motor and controller but have yet to take the plunge. I've listened to a lot of tables and have yet to find a compelling reason to dump my Linn. I traded my 70's model LP12 in on the one I have owned now since 1984 and until it holds my system back it will stay.

The install is easy and doesn't change the setup. Palasr is correct regarding the force on the pulley when installing the adapter. The key is to shim the pulley before installing the adapter. Then remove the shim. There is plenty of length in the OL power supply cable to allow its' placement on another shelf. Wendell.

You can also replace the valhalla with a Linn lingo.
Which provides 45RPM.

I ordered the OL DC motor kit. Way too expensive just to get 45rpm, but I'm expecting a substantial boost in the performance of my Linn, so that's a good thing. Thanks for your help, everybody.

Yeah, but a bargain compared to the Lingo and most people consider it superior. Add that to the increasing difficulty of getting worthwhile LP12 support from Linn and it becomes a relative bargain.
