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

Just fitted a new motor. Can't tell if it has more wobble or not. I
don't have any way to measure the wobble but from an 'eye ball' point of
view, it doesn't seem to spin all that flat, (orig may have been the
same). but the focus tracks the cd and the unit plays just fine.

Thanks everyone for your help
