A Linnie Question: 50 v 60 Hz motors on my LP 12
« on: 7 Mar 2009, 03:16 am »
I am selling my Lingo 1 as I have recently purchased a Lingo 2.
When I upgraded to the Lingo 1, I had to ditch my 60Hz motor for a 50Hz motor.

Someone is interested in buying my old Lingo BUT I don't know which motor he has. Mine had the Valhalla upgrade yet still had the 60Hz motor. Do some Valhalla's have the 50Hz?

So, is there an easy way to figure out if he has the 50Hz motor? Perhaps without taking it apart or crawling underneath between the expansion crack in one's dining room table to remove the turntable bottom?

Like a serial number?
Or a year of purchase?

Thanks. I also wanted to post this on the Linn forum on VinylEngine. It let me log in, retrieve personal messages, reply to personal messages but did not let me create a new post!

BoneyPaul,

PM Jas (that's his moniker) over there at VE and tell him your issue.

He's a nice fella from the UK that runs the joint...he'll make it right.

My vinylengine.com cookie problem was cured, thanks to JAS.
My question posted.
My answer is here:
50Hz motor: 21mm pulley
60Hz motor: 17mm pulley
