Dear Jerry,
Yes, I noticed it and in fact the motorboard is now mounted differently from the photos I shared initially. However, in my model it is not possible to bring the motorboard to the same height as Jeff's, but this is not the problem. If you look at our two turntables, Jeff's is different. I noticed that I need that turntable. Mine has the central part that protrudes lower than the ring, and it is not a good thing.
Thanks,
Enrico
Enrico,

Your turntable and the other one pictured, are in fact the same turntable. The only difference is that the other one has an added piece. It has a "riser", held on with three screws, that elevates the ring where it rides on the bearings. This appears to make the central part shorter, but in fact, it makes the ring higher. That actually might help you, but the question is then, will the drive pin on your spindle shaft still engage with your turntable if you were to use such a table?
Dear Jerry,

Sorry for the delay in my reply and thanks to you too for the clarification.

All the best,
Enrico
