Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply

@pindac 

Thanks for your info.

I have a PanzerHoltz plinth for my current SP10mk3. It's an Albert Porter plinth.

I should be able to drop in the SP10R into the plinth.

Any chance you can ask your friend to take a look at his motir controller at the rear. Even better, send a pic.

Thanks.

@ddriveman You have done your research and in my view have invested wisely in the design for the Plinth. It would be very satisfying as a outcome, if only a minimum of modification is required to fasten the R to the plinth in place of the Mk III.

I will make an inquiry to have images taken, I am not too sure how to add images to posts on this forum. I only have had success with URL links. 

@ddriveman, the SP10Mk3 plinth should be a drop in for the SP10R. I ordered my Artisan Fidelity Panzerholtz plinth for a Thalmann-refurbished SP10M3 that was "lost" at the FedEx depot 22 miles from my home in No Cal the day before delivery. This was in June 2020, when shippers were suddenly overwhelmed by the pandemic. I have my suspicions. Anyway, because I bought the Mk3 from someone in Michigan and had it shipped directly to Bill in VA, who then shipped it to me, I never even got to see it. So near but yet so far! With the plinth already being made, I decided to pivot into the R. Luckily, one unit happened to be sitting in the Technics warehouse here in the States. Someone had ordered it and then suddenly backed out, likely because of a change in finances due to Covid. The typical wait had been around 3 months. Chris at AF received it within days from Technics and dropped it into the plinth, QED. Yours should fit no problem, although the grounding-rod arrangement Albert uses might need some relatively minor adjustment.

I’ll add, perhaps more to the point, that the Mk3 I bought was 100v. I was planning to run it with a Monarchy AC regenerator, which allows output voltage selection from 100 to 120. You could do the same with your R. I think Monarchy closed shop but you can probably find one used if you look. It was not expensive, something like $600, as I recall.
