Hi Buckyboy, sorry for the confusion. Yes it is direct drive. I think that converting it to a belt driven function is not possible. I'm looking for an online site that sells the SFMZ 150-01Z DC motor.

Hello Masters, I have an old Technics SL-1500 MK1 turntable which I got from my grandpa years back. Planned to revive it, so I brought it to a local audio repair shop to check why the platter isn't spinning. According to them, it's irreparable because the DC Servo Motor needs to be replaced...

Thank you, Al. Appreciate your suggestion. Yeah, I don't think I can buy an MC cartridge for now, hehehe. Looks like there is a problem with my MF amp because I tested this on another amp and it works fine. I'll consider getting an external MM phono. :)
