New motor for Nottingham Interspace

Well, I suppose there is always some benefit in taking AC out of many equations. Whether you will notice a difference between the Interspace motor and a DC motor or if any such difference would be discernible, thereby justifying the cost, is debatable, IMHO.

The motor should be dead slient when played, though it will very lightly humm at idle (as desgined). If you can hear it when it spins, other than some very faint belt noise, check all your angles again. If still noisy, I'd suspect a faulty motor and Not will remedy this for you - depending on age, etc.

Beezer, could it be bearing noise? The bearing and shaft is supposed to have oil periodically added to it.

The noise is definitely from the motor and everything's level. I guess I'll call the Nottingham distributor...

I have also noticed noise form my interspace motor though faint. And yes everything is aligned. It seems intermittent but my dealer told me if it is a problem the warranty will replace it. Love the table, just need to get rid of the overrated Rega arm.

Call them directly and bypass ASL Group - they SUCK.

I don't know if Nottingham is using the old or new area code standardization. I think it's written above with the old version.

I got a lot of the "you should buy a VPI they have better motors" crap when I looked around. Ha! It's not a Ferrari - and bigger isn't always better. Seems like a major selling point of the Nott's are their motors.

And don't say, Yeah, just ask his wife.
