These notes are provided for guidance only. We do not claim 100% accuracy due to differences between models within each manufacturer's range.

Voltage figures have been specified for certain turntables. These determine which switching box you should order (as operating voltages vary between turntables). Unless otherwise stated, minimum voltage ranges are:

For the DC100 motor - 1 to 3.4V
For the DC200 motor - 1 to 2.6V

We supply three types of pulley for use with different decks. All pulleys suit both flat and round belts. The three pulleys are described as "short", "long" and "large".

More detailed fitting methods are outlined at: Fitting Motors Page

Turntables	Notes
Acoustic Research	Tall pulley & 2.5mm nut - no motor plate / belt runs on normal sub-platter. The motor mod has been successfully fitted to acoustic research decks as a straightforward drop in replacement for the old AC motor. Fitting Instructions for AR deck AR Legend needs motor moving and 603mm circumference belt.
Alpheson	Tall pulley / normal dia sub-platter. The mod has been carried out successfully on a number of Alphasons. The Alpheson Sonata has 2 motors but this is not a problem - you can either replace both motors with ours or use a single motor and a shorter belt. Most users have gone for the 2 motor option which costs an additional £79 inc VAT.
Avid	Tall pulley / belt runs normal sub-platter. We do not know of anyone who has moded the Avid yet but it should be possible using the methods here.
Ariston	Tall pulley / belt runs on normal sub-platter. The motor mod has been successfully carried out on a number of Aristons. The motor is a drop in replacement for the old AC motor.
Audio Innovations	Tall pulley / belt runs on normal sub-platter. The budget audio innovations decks (not the Voyds) are modelled on the Systemdek design. The motor mod has been successfully carried out on a number of Systemdeks. The motor is a drop in replacement for the old AC motor.
Avondale Audio	Short pulley / normal dia sub-platter. The mod has been carried out successfully on the Avondale Audio Genesis. The Genesis has 2 motors but this is not a problem - you can either replace both motors with ours or use a single motor and a shorter belt. Most users have gone for the 2 motor option which costs an additional £79 inc VAT. Our motor plate is mounted on the top of the plinth.

CS products	Short pulley / Motor on round plate 60mm spaced holes / 0.8 to 2.1V minimum Voltage range for DC100 / small dia sub-platter. 1 off M4 x 55mm machine bolt plus 3 off 25 od large dia repair washers 4 off M4 nuts and 3 off M4 brass washers 1 off M4 x 20mm Allen bolt. The motor modification has been successfully fitted to a number of QLS decks and is a straightforward fitting job. The existing motor plate is replaced by an Origin Live motor plate and mounted level with the top of the turntable plinth. The MDF baseboard needs the motor hole enlarging to allow the motor to protrude from the bottom of the deck - it also needs a 1 x 4.5mm dia hole drilled to re-site the motor plate support bolt.

Technics	This deck can only be upgraded to our DC kit by changing all working parts using the Origin Live kit of parts as per the review published on our web site under "turntable kits" - this is a fairly advanced project and is only available direct from Origin Live. Spec for motor kit is same as Origin Live.
Teres	No motor or pulley required - use Teres existing motor & pulley / 2.4 to 4.5V minimum Voltage. This deck can be significantly upgraded by simply substituting the power supply with the Origin Live advanced or ultra switching box and optional upgrade transformer. It does not need the Origin Live motor as it already posseses a high grade motor - this makes fitting very easy as it is just a question of wiring in the motor.
