Anyone know where I cane get a good standalone motor for a turntable, that won't break the bank. Right now, I just want to b able to listen to my records, so I'm not in the market for an expensive VPI motor or the like. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Something like this?

Shipping is a little steep $$

I was thinking of getting this one, but I heard the quality is a bit below average. I might do it anyway as the only other option I can find is the DIY Hi-Fi Supply motor, which is three times the price.

Origin Live should have a nice DC motor for about $400.

One of my tt buddies purchsed one of these. It looks great, but only ran for 3 hrs before it started to get noisy.
He is trying to resolve the return issue as I write this.
He has also purchased the 400$ origin live and it has functioned w/o problem. We are trying to find a empire/pabst replacement...
