The statement ___"short in the motor somewhere"___ is shop speak that
you don't want to pay what it will cost for us to figure out how to fix
it. What Barry said is where to start. The wiring is a mess as well.

Al,Thanks for the reply. As you noted, I have been advised that it was a short
in the motor somewhere. The problem seems to be that this motor is wound for
three different types of power - AC/DC and maybe 220. So, either the shops
don't know what the problem is or they just don't want to mess with it... I'm
tending toward the latter, since the guys I sent it to are very knowledgeable.
There is a picture of the motor on our website: www.carolinaphonosociety.com

Induction motors that lack torque can usually be traced to an open field coil
or an open armature loop. A shorted turn will eat torque but the motor will
let you know by getting hot. How about a photo of the motor? Most good motor
shops can fix anything from fractional horsepower to 100 HP. Do you know of
a fan collector in your area? I have repaired fan motors that lost power and
have the same symptoms of your phonograph. These things are not rocket science.
Best wishes,
Al
