Original owner of a Beogram TX turntable. The unit makes a clicking sound and I have traced it to the platter motor. I took off the belt and manually spun the motor and can hear the clicks. Does anyone know if the motor requires lubrication and if so where? Otherwise does anyone know if I can get a replacement motor for this turntable? Thanks!

Welcome to Beoworld !
The clicking sound comes from the platter motor brushes.
It's a typical sign of a deformed commutator and this is not repairable.
A replacement motor would be needed and this will most likely have to
come from a donor deck since it is no longer available from B&O.
