I have tried various cd motor "upgrades" for the LP-12 and haven't liked any of them. Most seemed a bit too, one note bass.
All Linn powers supplies except the Basik output a 50hz signal no matter what it is fed with so will require a 50hz motor. Measure the diameter of the motor pulley, 17mm = 60hz, 21mm = 50hz.
Linn motors are quite bullet proof, the newer ones are slightly better sounding due to an improved thrust bearing.
Most valhallas are 10+ years old now, it is recommended they are serviced every 10-12 years.
The Hercules is an excellent alternative, it is 33rpm and 45rpm, works on 110 or 240 volts and first class build quality, and so far 100% reliable. This also requires a 50hz motor though.Hope this clears up a few questions....
