Universal Motor means that it will run on AC and DC and various voltages.

OK, if it is a universal motor... where would I find one? Are there any specs
on universal motors - rpms, amps, hp, etc.? This motor is puzzling since it
doesn't have an ID or any spec info.

That looks suspiciously like a universal motor, runs on AC or DC and
various voltages from 63v to 240v with the aid of the resistor.

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
