As the jukebox comes from US the turntable motor runs on 60 Hz.
Here in Sweden we have 50 Hz, so to correct that I bought a spring from Stamann in Germany to mount on the motor drive shaft. Well it did fit perfect BUT the speed was around 40 rpm so it was just a waste of time and money.
Next problem was the motor was running heat caused of the 50 Hz, motor was around 70 degrees C HOT and the windings will probably melt down over time.
A large metal resistor (82 ohms 25W) is the solution here, voltage went down to 100VAC and the heat went down to 35-40 degrees C, I can live with that but a 50 Hz motor should be my final solution.
The motor in pieces, no radial play in the bearings (will cause rumble), and a 2,5mm axial play seems ok.
As it was impossible to achive the speed 45 rpm it ended up in the workshop at my work.
With the spring diameter in mind I estimated the outer diameter to be 5,35 mm.
The new turned ABS tube installed and slightly grinded in place now gives 45,1 rpm :-)
Temperature/voltage after adding the 82 ohms resistor in line with the 120 VAC.
Note the resistors temperature!
This cooling fins will do it!
