The cause and cure depends on the actual type of motor it is. The term
"motor" is very generic and covers multiple types. There are not many of
those phono lamps running around for cheap so few people have been
inside of one and even fewer have actually worked on that motor.

Is there anyone on the list who has had experience with a Fairy Phonograph
motor or other phono motors from that period? I completed my restoration -
everything works - lights, motor, etc. However, when the motor is under load,
with the turntable in place, it seems to vary in power from fast to almost a
complete stop. It bogs down when a record is attempted to be played...
I know that no one will have an exact answer, but I am looking for the most
plausible cause. Does the motor need to be rewound and rebuilt or is it more
likely that the brushes are dirty or worn out. Any ideas???
