Just wanted to update the thread on the new motor. Since my treating the underside of the plinth with the two layers of wood glue the motor has stayed in place without any problem. I even played vinyl several times over the past few weeks and had not even thought to check out the motor's placement.

I continue to be amazed at the improvements of the motor and PSU upgrade. Speed accuracy and stability rule when it comes to vinyl. I would love to participate in a comparison of my tweaked Planar 2 to a stock Planar 2 or 3. I would even go up against a stock P6.
