The motor is significantly upgraded from the Planar 3 to the P3. Apparently the P3 motor is quieter and because it is rigidly mounted, does not have the speed/pitch variation of the older motor. I have not heard the P3, but I can hear the pitch variation in my Planar 3 on some music. Still, it's a reliable deck. The only maintenance I've done is to replace the belt and the unit is about 25 years old.

. Look around on Craigslist, some people are just looking to dump their old turntables and don't know/care how much they're worth.
