speed controller for Lenco or Garrard


Hi,

there seems to be newer speed controllers for lenco and garrard tt from sound carrier in US and long dog audio in UK.....anyone successfully use either of these or other speed controller power supplies for their lenco or garrard?

thanks

Reviving this thread. Does anyone know for sure whether the SOTA Eclipse version of the Eagle/Roadrunner outputs enough wattage for the Lenco motor? I'm very interested in this combo. Thanks.
When in doubt, go to the source. This from Bill at Phoenix:
SOTA is making the Condor motor controller which is designed to only work with the 3 phase BLDC motor that comes in the Eclipse package. It does not work with any 115/230VAC motors.
I talked to Bill about this and he told me that my Garrard 301, having an induction motor, would not be a good match for the Sota power supply. I bought Ray Clark's (Classic HiFi) PSU from England and could not be happier. It is important though to understand what his PSU does and does not do. It regulates current and controls the speed of the platter. However, that does not mean that speed locks in in any manner. It drifts less, but it still drifts. Using a Phoenix tachometer, I get a readout of my platter speed and simply adjust the speed, when I feel the need, with the Classic HiFi PSU. One must disable the eddy brake on the Garrard to use it properly. 
With my Lenco I use the 25W Eagle PS, If the Eclipse PS is ~25W, you’re good.
I was one of the original beta testers for the Eagle and Roadrunner on my Garrard 301.  I have used them on my two 301's successfully.  The Roadrunner automatically controls the speed with no problems.
Likewise, I have successfully used them on my Lenco L75.
