Thanks

I think also there were different versions of the motor control board. The early ones were more prone to fail, and had problems with self-starting motors. I've had no such problems during the 12 years I've used my Axis (which is an Axis II).

I was once thinking of using a different PSU for the motor. But as I've read, the motor control board of the Axis is really excellent, running at very low voltage (25-30 Volts) after the initial high voltage to start the platter. This was made because of the poorer isolation of the Axis' rubber suspension, and they needed a very quiet motor running. So I think I'll stick with my Axis control board.

There may be some components that have gone out of spec also (electrolytic caps). I try and see whether I can get hold of a oscilloscope. I don't know if I dare to touch the pots before I know what they are doing.

Are there any pots in Valhalla or Lingo PSUs?
