Try to get the exact same motor number. The different model suffixes
often relate to the length of the motor spindle (shaft).

Carefully measure the spindle platter height before you remove it.
Also, be aware that you won't likely be able to get it installed on
the new motor "quite" true, meaning that you will probably have some
spindle motor wobble after the new motor is installed. Shouldn't
really be a problem, but I thought it should be mentioned...

Mark, this may be a dumb question but I am going to ask anyway. Why
would putting the platter onto a new motor cause any more wobble than
with the current motor??? It has one of those pressed on plastic
platters and assuming I don't bend the spindle.

It's just been my experience. The original was pressed on with a
machine. You and I press it on by hand and it doesn't wind up that the
disc will rotate quite as flat as the original once the job is done.
Like I said, it;s not really a big deal. The focus servo will just
have to work a little harder.

Thanks Mark. I will order a motor and see what happens
