Good evening.
I am trying to use a VPI Scoutmaster in Europe…
It has a 110v motor, 300rpm, 60hz, on a 12” platter.
However, having tried already 2 different power converters, I can only get 250rpm from my motor, and of course, it is not enough…
Anyone had any similar experience or can suggest a solution??
Thanks in advance!
 
It looks like an AC motor. AC motors lock the speed (rpm) to the frequency of the mains. In that case you need to replace 60Hz pulley with a slightly larger 50Hz one.

Did you use a converter that delivers 110 volt and 60 hz ?
