Oh, the thump is gone, thankfully. Ron L

(there must be a better way to say it), but I had wondered if one of the springs could have been started in the wrong direction. If that were done, it might have some funny behavior, or possibly, the motor could not be wound at all. And too, packing directions with a 4 spring motor could give you some strange effects if one spring was inserted in reverse. ????? The "Victor thump" is enough of an annoyance,without having the motor not working properly! > [Original Message] > From: Ron L <lhera...@bu.edu> > To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l@oldcrank.org> > Date: 4/30/2009 10:49:41 AM > Subject: RE: [Phono-L] 4 spring credenza motor problem > > I do have an electric C.
