trying to understand the Linn motor


I have an old Valhalla Linn and it may be time to change its motor.
The board has been serviced and all caps upgraded.
As far as I can tell, the board produces 85 volts at 50 Hz.
If I am wrong on this, please let me know.

However, the motor on the Linn (PremotecĀ 9904 111 31813) isĀ 
rated at 110 volts (with -15% +10% voltage tolerance according to its spec).
This indicates that the motor should not be driven with less than
93.5 volts (-15%).

So, what am I missing ?

Thanks

Linn likes to run the TT motor at lower voltages to reduce motor vibrations... The Lingo drops the voltage to 60V once it stabilise... The Valhalla is locked at 85V all the time.
