slacken off the nuts underneath first. This will allow
you to remove the Linn motor but be careful not
to lose the 4 cone-shaped spacing washers that
reside between the top of the motor
and the bottom of the stainless steel top plate
(see Fig 1).
It is also recommended to remove the belt guard
as this can rub against the belt depending on how
your Linn is adjusted.
Now fit the DC motor as shown in Fig 2 below
using an original black round headed Allen bolt
and nut plus the 2 brass washers supplied with
the kit. The brass washers only serve as spacers
- they are not designed fit directly under the bolt
heads. The bolt only need to be “nipped“ tight
for best sound quality and the distance from
centre of platter to motor pulley centre should be
adjusted to approx 127- 129mm for correct belt
tension (start at 127).
There are 3 holes drilled in the DC motor top-plate
to allow extra flexibility in positioning the motor
as Linns differ slightly in dimensional set up. For
tension see also notes on wiring the power supply.
Now connect up the control box set the speed
(see previous text) and enjoy!
Note: The plate can be attached using
super glue. (If you wish you can remove
the existing Linn on off switch and replace
it with the Origin Live logo / brushed
stainless steel plate supplied.)
