I'm using the OL motor primarily because I got fed up with lifting the platter then moving the belt to change speed. My deck started off as a P3 2000 but the only original parts are the tonearm, lid and bearing sleeve. In hindsight I would have waited for the P3 24.
Agreed about Systemtek decks. I used to own a Thorens TD150 which sounded excellent but they are no longer the bargain they once were.
Ah yes that sounds likely. The 24v motor is supposed to be better than the one that came with the P3 2000 (which also used the sticky pad), and also works with the TT PSU which serves as a speed switcher as well.
