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.
Have you looked at the origin and premotec motors?
