Fostex Model 20 motor troubles.

[ReelFostex!]

My Model 20 motor is very weak and slowing down to almost no rotation at all. Do any of you know a good place to buy a used Fostex model 20 motor, or if there is a replacement motor that will work...thanks, the belt is strong...the motor is dying. Its a very good little mixdown unit...I want to fix it.

It may not be the motor. It may be the motor run capacitor.
I would also check the voltage golng to the motor against the published spec in the service manual.

Ok I shall.

i will use a multimeter and check...that could very well be...ahhh a capacitor verses an entire new motor...I like it....thanks so much.
