Questions to J.A. Michell turntable owners...

I don’t believe you can post a photo on this site....

I have only one ’O’ ring drive ’belt’. Not really a ’belt’ as one would think of it. A very large diameter ’O’ ring.

DC drive motor has two different size ’pulleys’ on it. One for 33 1/3 and the other for 45 rpm.

A secondary box has the speed control set screw inside it.

Looks like I need to get some electronic 'end dust' before I go any further.

A belt lasts ~5 years, then it loses its elasticity and the speed slows way down due to excessive slippage.

btw...I always set my speed playing a Cardas Frequency Sweep record while utilizing my KAB speedstrobe light.

Thanks again!

Directly from this site no I have not succeeded, you have to use an online host to upload photos and then view them here, it is not complicated but requires a little patience.

@has2be it is not delrin but methacrylate

@best-groove 


Delrin is simply Dupont’s propriety name for the material. If you haven’t already , research it. Carbon/vinyl-loaded acrylic...…. all Michell’s info ever says is "Michell makes the platter from a proprietary self-damping compound of carbon/vinyl-loaded acrylic". Copolymer or polymer ??? There is a big difference in price between the two variants and performance. From my experience , regardless, it is one of the better sounding solutions for a platter and no need for fiddling with mats and adjusting arms with added height and suspensions with added weight.
