This is truly fantastic investigative work everyone - top notch!

Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
So I contacted Faulhaber directly and they put me in touch with their UK engineer. I'll let you all know the outcome as soon as possible. Thanks for all the support... The last bit of hair I had has turned completely grey the past few weeks!
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
The cap was soldered directly across the terminals on mine, identifiying marks removed from the plastic body (though this could've happened when I was digging out the silicone) and also the gearhead (again, could've happened when I was removing the gaffer tape).
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Aha.. thats a shame, at least a bit closer anyway
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Given how Souri physically removed all identifying marks on every other VR component I've come across (i.e. ICs, external precision motor, drive coils etc.) then I doubt you had anything to do with destroying the ones on the motor and gearhead mate.handcut wrote: ↑Mon Sep 28, 2020 9:39 amThe cap was soldered directly across the terminals on mine, identifiying marks removed from the plastic body (though this could've happened when I was digging out the silicone) and also the gearhead (again, could've happened when I was removing the gaffer tape).

Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Service manual idea. Brilliant - happy to chip in and do the design / layout (am a designer).
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Is anybody with a working VR able to do me a solid and time the RPM of the black wheel when the groove/speed adjustment is maxed out (fully clockwise)? Thanks!
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Hey handcut... 10 RPM at full speed
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
OK, so after some correspondence with Faulhaber's UK engineer, we have deduced that the motor is: Faulhaber 2230FR006S+22/2 308:1
Lead time on these is 8 weeks, just to warn you all!
Now all that remains is to have the original brass bearing housing cloned (for those just tuning in, the original wasn't straight) and we're golden.........

Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Bless you and your patience, Handcut! Thank you for sharing all of this info.
Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
No worries, thanks to everyone who chimed-in. I wouldn't wish the stress of the past four weeks on anybody! I'll write-up the full process once I've had the parts made and everything is up & running.RedSpadeRobyn wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 7:09 amBless you and your patience, Handcut!

Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
It's a pleasure to help you , I hope the pictures we're useful
That sense of community is what makes it so reassuring and special, since the creator is a no show!
When Souri stopped answering me when I had too many questions and troubles with the VR, I was like " where do I go from there?? all the money and time invested"
It's people like Steven from Myshank, Mark Rob and Bennett that saved my ass.
Let's keep the love and support coming, we can only grow from that and get better from this!!!

Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Wanted to revisit and see if everything worked out for you in the end?

Re: Vinyl Recorder T560 Overhead Motor
Still waiting on parts to be made. Pandemic has turned this into a bit of a saga, plus I thought that I'd make a couple of improvements to the design whilst it's dismantled. A properly mounted motor, replacing the gaffer tape/silicone mess and easier access for maintenance rather than blindly spraying oil into a tube...soeffingodly wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 4:15 pmWanted to revisit and see if everything worked out for you in the end?
