Yamaha YP-B2 Motor Mounting Incorrect? Do you have pics of the motor mounting?
Just got this Yamaha YP-B2 and wow... wishing I knew more about turntables before I went and spent $100 on one from the 80s. Oh well! Fixing it is half the fun! Onto the question. I noticed the record was really slow at 45RPM and way too fast at 33RPM, which definitely made no sense, so today... -

Yamaha C-4 Preamp Recap
Gone through replacing all caps along with variable resistors on this C-4. Plugged into DBT and the good news is I've got a dim glow.
