I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone who's Direct Drive motor died of either old age, seizure or to high a voltage being used, i.e. 120 v into 100 v.
Just curious as to what would happen if this happened and could it be fixed.
Reason I ask is that there are some really great DD drives from the 1970's and 1980's that people pay a kings ransom for and it would be a crying shame and a hell of an expensive fix if those TT's had the motor die in the near future.
Any thoughts and/or experiences welcome. My question is specifically about the motor only and not all the other bells and whistles which can break down but are reasonably easier to fix or a workaround can be found.
