I am attempting to locate a source for used platter motors.
Can anyone offer any suggested equipment vendors/etc.
Money is an object here.

Thank You.

The best bet would be to have your present motors rebuilt. We do this to at least to several motors a week in out shop. Typical cost is 1 hour labor plus parts. $$$Ok, a shamless plug here but we do ALOT of these and other platter motors completely in house....$$$

However if your motors are missing........ keep looking for used replacements or spend alot for new motors. Beware of the made in Mexico Motors that were used on AW3's for a short period of time. They can be rebuilt as well but are not as well made as the "Jethro" Bodine motors normally used.
