Motor brand, model #, etc for a Linn LP12

[dsjackso1]

I have an old LP12 with a 60 hz motor. I installed a Hercules 2 board and now the speed is way too slow. I think I read somewhere that the Hercules 2 is designed to work with a 50 hz motor,

Can someone provide me the info needed to purchase a 50 hz motor? I need to find a more cost effective solution than buying a motor from a dealer.

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards,
Steve

You don’t need a new motor, you need a 50 Hz pulley.

correct, the motor will run at what ever frequency is fed it. the power supply is feeding it 50hz.

Just look for a used one with the 50Hz pulley (22mm diameter) on it.
