To replace and upgrade motors on all brands of belt drive turntable
If you wish to replace a faulty motor or power supply and at the same time massively upgrade your turntable performance then this inexpensive motor kit far exceeds most peoples expectations. The kit is so outstanding in terms of performance that it’s used to upgrade fully working motors and power supplies costing upwards of £2000. It’s also been used by turntable manufacturers on decks costing over £12,000. The quality of motor and power supply used in a turntable is not just functional. It affects perceived performance more than almost any other component in a deck due to vibration and complex aspects of speed control which most never consider.
The Motor Kit upgrade is applicable if:
- You have a noisy or broken turntable motor
- Your motor has a faulty power supply
- You want to upgrade the performance of your turntable
Included in all DC Motor Kits:
* A strobe card is also included for easy and accurate speed setting.
* The speed setting for 33 and 45rpm is adaptable for all turntables because the control box has infinitely adjustable speed setting capability.
Most Important Part of Your Deck
The fundamental task of your record player is to keep your platter spinning at an even speed. To achieve the best possible sound, you need the best possible motor. Our low vibration, Ironless cores outperform outdated motors in older decks.
Electronic Expertise
Mechanically, our kits are superb, and easy to operate. The front switch which has 3 positions: Off / 33rpm / 45rpm. You can precisely set the speed for your particular turntable using infinitely adjustable speed trimmers in the rear panel. What separates the Origin Live Motor Kit from others is a focus on electronics. Years of research have been made in order to offer a Motor Kit manufactured with the expertise which turntables deserve.
More performance than price
Good DC motor kits always outperform AC kits, ours outperform kits that are five times the price. Owners of every kind of different deck have reported outstanding results, and you are welcome to test the kit for yourself.

Record Player Motor Kit Options in detail
Motor Speed Control Box
The switch box controls the turntable motor with infinitely variable speed setting to accomodate any record player.
Advanced Speed Control Box
The Advanced speed control box represents extraordinarily high value for money. The circuitry is far in advance of the Standard model by virtue of load and temperature compensation which ensures much better constant speed across the whole record. Improved dynamics and clarity are other very obvious benefits with speed accuracy around plus or minus 0.2% from start to finish of a record.
Ultra Speed Control Box
The Ultra Speed Control Box offers higher performance than the Advanced Box thanks to it’s faster-functioning circuit along with improved regulation and lower noise. Additional features include uprated components and heat-sink. All this contributes to a more cohesive and musical sound with greater resolving power.
Turntable Motor Options
Motors vary significantly in cost, power and performance so we offer choice.
DC 100 Turntable Motor
This motor is supplied as standard with all motor kits. In spite of it’s relatively low cost, the DC100 is a big step up from the the synchronous AC motors commonly used in most turntables. For warranty reasons we cannot offer part exchange on old motors.

Upgrade Transformer Option
A better power supply makes a big difference to Amplifiers. Turntable motors are no different. The Upgrade Transformer is a specially wound, low impedance, large Toroid transformer with high instantaneaous current delivery. The performance of the Origin Live designed transformer is far superior to any normal Toroid transformer.
Standard Low Power Transformer
This transformer is supplied as standard with all kits. The photo opposite is representative as actual item can vary slightly in appearance.

Large Upgrade transformer (Low Noise)
The Large Upgrade Transformer features an extremely advanced, purpose built, transformer housed in an outboard enclosure. The larger transformer offers significant benefits. It isolates and cleans the mains whilst massively increasing instantaneous current delivery. The results are improved transparency, dynamics and deeper bass.
If you have an existing motor kit with a standard transformer, then the Large upgrade transformer offers significant performance improvements. It’s also simple to install as the connections are the same, allowing a straight substitution.
