Well, the motor is the weak link is that system IMO. Try damping the motor. I got rid of the rubber band holding the motor in place and sat the motor on O-rings and a piece of plexiglass I fit into the motor housing. It made some difference. Also wrap rubber bands around the motor to damp it out even more.

Not worth the motor upgrade IMO. Get a more recent Rega is my advice.

Oh, I did have luck replacing the ball bearing with a ruby bearing from Portugal. That was a great $6 upgrade, but it took six weeks to arrive.

I assume you've re-lubed the bearing already which should be standard Rega maintenance. Rega says it doesn't suggest any maintenance because they just want you to buy a new turntable!
