TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER



Speed Controller for Technics Mk3 lost in shipment, so I need a replacement.

Anyone out there know someone who has one?

Happy to reward a successful referral.

What should one of these cost these days?

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can provide.

Best,

Well, everyone, Thanks so much for your input on the speed controller.

I love the amount of experience that is shared here. Almost all of us have benefitted from that at some point.

Albert Porter was the first person I approached about this, Bill Thallman was the second.

As soon as I found my first MkIII, I found a speed controller on ebay, and bought it. The seller, in Switzerland, sent me the wrong package and the speed controller went Heaven knows where. I tried to get back my money but the seller was either disorganized, dishonest, or both. Either way I have two MkIII tables with no speed controller!

Since the first unit, I haven't found another speed controller. People have made any number of suggestions for people who might have one, but I've not made any effective connections, and some people in the industry who are well thought of have not even returned my (numerous) calls. Frustrating.

That said, I am open to trading a SP10 MkIII base in good condition as partial payment toward a speed controller, operative or not.

Hope to hear from someone with a solid lead.

I didn't follow up with this because I've had family priorities. The comments about my still being alive aren't in particularly good taste. While I understand being light and I try to have a good sense of humor, my wife died in June. The speed controller dropped in priority, as I'm sure you understand.
Cdk84,

I'm considering picking up a SP10MK3 with a power supply, maybe I can figure out how to make new ones, when I do ill let you know.

Good Listening
