Replacing TD-124 motor with TDK-101 motor...my speed issue continued

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Hi all,
The slightly too fast TD-124 saga continues. Thanks to all who supplied advice last weekend. I tried all of it...every bit, but the speed is still too fast. One writer mentioned that it could be the motor itself having a speed fluctuation that is/was outside the normal allowable fluctuation.
Anyway, to try another tack, I have a TDK-101 motor that I can transplant into the TD-124. The motors look identical except that there are 8 wires going into the TD-124 motor (red, yellow, black, and green) and only two (both red) going into the TDK-101. Essentially, the TDK-101 doesn't have the voltage changing "hub" that appears on the TD-124.
So...I am looking for guidance as to how to make this transplant in regards to wiring. Again, I have limited electrical knowledge. I have a multi-tester, but need very specific directions on how to use it, if I must.
If someone wants to take me under their wing, I'll splurge for the phone call or I can send pics.
