Project Motor Replacement Help


Recommended Posts

About a year ago my Project Debut Carbon did not turn on. The power supply was very hot, so I assumed I burned it out somehow. It took me a while, due to life reasons and laziness, for me to get around to buying another one. Fast forward to two nights ago and I hook everything up with the new power supply from Pro-Ject and I get the same result...

 

So I need some help figuring out which new motor I need. The manual and motor themselves offer little help in figuring out what one I need exactly as it is devoid of an exact model or part number. 

 

Here is the webiste with the list:

Here is the picture of the one I have:

I bought it a while ago but I don't have that many hours on it. Fairly disappointed about the motor issues so soon and the customer service from the company is dismal.

 

Thanks everyone for the help!

Every source I can find supports the following motor:

 

230V Motor (Part Code: 1942 790 020)

Debut II^
Debut II Phono SB^
Debut Carbon
1.2
2
2.9 Classic^
2.9 Wood^
6.9
RPM 4^

 

The motor you showed in your photo is appearing as the replacement motor for the Xperience tables: 

Xperience Motor (Round belt)' (Part Code: 1940 875 069)

  • All 2 Xperience models bought after serial number 001686 (round belt) (includes 50Hz pulley)

Check out some of the info at Henley Audio here: https://www.henleyaudio.co.uk/products/Replacement-motors

 

EDIT: It looks like the Debut Carbon RecordMaster HiRes  uses that 230v motor, but the standard Carbon utilizes a 15V DC Power Supply.

This is why I decided to make the thread. The list was saying I should have the 230v but the model they show in the picture is not the same as the one that is currently in the turntable. I wish Pro-ject was more helpful with this sort of thing. This could end up costing me a lot of money if I just go with trial and error which is a shame since the debut carbon isn't exactly cheap.
