You can't - not a suitable one anyway (which is why both the companies to produce new direct drive decks in the last few years had to build their own).
I'm sure you knew that though.

Since the Technics is still in production, is it not possible to buy the motor from Panasonic on an OEM basis?

Im always surprised how many yoof are digging in the crates beside me when im in a record shop, including young ladies
I catch them looking at me wondering what Grandads buying.
Which record shops do you go to? I never find I'm rummaging through crates next to a lady. I must be going to the wrong places.
Yesh, but you need to go the 'special' record shops, where the lighting is dim, there's a faint whiff of patchouli oil in the air, and the bearded clientele are sporting cheeky wee grins along with their sling-backs and Kaneesha tops......
