Step 5

The drive motor will be on the right side and in the upper half of the unit. The drive motor within this unit is displayed as it was found in the unit in the first photo.
The motor in this unit was a SANKO 9V, 12V CW (clockwise) MO9S12U13-3 60622T C. Verify the motor model before ordering a replacement.
Note the polarity of the wires leading to the motor. This unit is wired as follows, according to the markings on the motor body: (NOTE: if the wiring varies on other units, use that wiring schematic.)
A - Yellow
B - White
‘+’ - Black
‘-’ - Red
De-solder the connections to the motor. Be careful when using a soldering iron so as not to burn yourself. Do not hold the iron in one place for too long to prevent burning and damaging the circuit board. For more information on soldering connections, please read the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.

Step 9

With the unit fully reassembled, test the speed of the motor by comparing the output of the turntable to a digital recording of the same song.
With the unit OFF and unplugged, adjust the speed by inserting the 1.5 mm Flathead screwdriver into the shown holes and carefully turning the screw in the motor housing. This step is very sensitive and will likely take multiple attempts to get the speed just right.
NOTE: do not adjust the speed of the unit while the motor is turning, as this is likely to damage the motor or cause injury.
Reinsert the lid and enjoy your repaired Audio Technica AT-LP60BK turntable.
