I work with an "Archivist" Monks machine, purchased about two years
ago.
I also have a problem with the turntable not staying attached to the
spindle after a period of time -- maybe 50 records or so. However, I
haven't replaced the motor. My solution has been this: I remove the
black surface pad from the turntable, unscrew the flat metal ring that
holds the turntable to the black plastic spindle part, then tighten
the two "allen-key" screws located at the base of the spindle part.
It's a cumbersome and time consuming process, but fixes the problem
for a period of time.
Otherwise the machine has been fine.
