I would welcome any suggestions on how to lower the noise level. Anyone who has done this successfully, please let me know how you did it, short of not using it. [V]

This modification will only work for the Märklin 7686 turntable and its several Fleischmann lookalikes. If you're talking about the really old M-track TT, then it maybe hopeless in terms of drop in modifications. If you're handy with milling and turning or similar, you maybe be able to still fit a nice can motor, like a Faulhaber or Maxxon. For this case, electrical modifications are required too. Luis

I wonder if anyone has tried to muffle the sheet metal inside of the ring gear area. It seems to amplify the gear noise. The turntable that I have Is the 7186 from Marklin. I don't know the age but I have the original Blue Box.
