On a Rega, you can solder a ground wire to the motor chassis, run it to the bearing sleeve,
solder it there, then solder a second ground wire to the bearing sleeve and run it to the ground wire thumb screw on the phono preamp or preamp. This is the traditional solution for eliminating hum on Rega/Grado combo's and is usually effective.
