Unfortunately got one of these from Habit before I read your posts, so I have now ordered a 300rpm replacement motor so I can hopefully get some use out of it.
Problem is not sure how you get the existing motor out, took retaining screws out of base but it does not want to come off, do you have to be fairly brutal with it?
also will I need to solder wires on to new motor?
If you could let me know how you sorted yours out
Cheers
