I don't need any (now) but was tossed back half a century when
I saw the coiled spring-like bushing on the motor's shafts. I think
when you bought a 50 cycle player you got a little package with
one of those springs to convert the player to 60 cycle.

OR, was it just the other way around?

Many motors have those normally. It's just a way to get the right size.
Note that the second motor, P1241826-1.jpg, only has the bushing on
the 78RPM step of the shaft. The 45 and 33 1/3 RPM steps are bare.

On 50Hz the motor would run slower so the shaft would have to be larger
to get the same turntable speed. The adapter would be used for 50Hz
operation.

To get my real email address, replace wrongname with dadoheadman.
Then replace nospam with fastmail. Lastly, replace com with us.

Right on! And I had forgotten about the 3 speed changers with a single speed
synchronous motor. My (our) first suitcase style player had such a motor.
The player is long gone, but still have a couple scratchy 33 1/3's... I
think
Bill Haley... Shake, Rattle & Roll?? is one.

Actually, these aren't synchronous motors. They're induction motors.
The speed is mostly controlled by the power frequency but it isn't
absolutely locked to it. That's why you don't find motors like these in
high quality record players (or tape recorders, either).

Right again, Jim, I don't think I ever owned an audio device with a
synchronous
motor. In Vietnam I serviced and rebuilt tape decks that had some sort of
motors that had adjustable speed motors (brushless if I'm not mistaken)
that I adjusted while playing a "master" tape of a popular recording.
Most of the repairs were done by carefully honing out the grooves in
worn
pick-up and record heads. Probably not accepted practice, but, hey
it certainly put a lot of tape players back in business at the Danang
Airfield tape library back in service!

Yes, what you call "honing" is a costly (and time-honoured) service call
"lapping". Many heads are unavailable, and this is a good way to kjeep
machines in service for much longer.
