RE: Help for replacement AC Motor for LP12

I do know which Promotec motor is often recommended as a drop in for the Linn LP12 which is the ***813 but it is not a 220v model. Why this voltage?

Nevertheless it is not necessarily regarded as an improvement upon the similar one used by Linn. It is usually selected simply where the old motor has failed. It is easily available to the general public whereas the 819 apparently isn't. So you won't necessarily gain anything in performance from such a swap. The only posting I ccan find from someone who has done the swap reported no discernable difference in performance.

What nominal speed do you need for a 50Hz input should there be a suitable 220v model?

Have you considered how you will remove the existing pulley and mount it on the replacement ( I assume you will be doing this. Of course you may be machining your own pulley)? I gather from others that have done it that it is difficult. However it depends what tooling is available to you.
