Halcro,I don't know. I guess it would all come down to how the bearing well is supported with respect to the structural rim, and how the outer housing was connected to that same structural rim ...

Oops. Re-reading that, I want to re-phrase the first paragraph. I meant to say that despite your already having great tables/arms/carts/isolation tables (I really, really dig your TT stands) and ev...

Halcro,The TT-81 is a very nice motor. You will need a 240V step-up, not a 220V stepup. Those are available on ebay I expect. As to suggestions, I expect the "test" will be va...

Ddriveman,Thanks. The P3, DP-100, SP-10Mk3, and PS-X9 are all great. Other people have done the SP-10Mk2 better than I have done mine. The SP-10Mk3 stock is better than the Mk2. I think that bo...

It will take me a bit of digging to find the driver complement but I'll get there. As I remember, it is not terribly impressive and I remember thinking one could do better. Don't think the tweeter ...

I, Albert, on the other hand, would be interested in finding someone who could take the schematic of a Mk3 power supply/controller and make a new one from scratch (I would take care of the box).
