Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question

@mgattmch Good catch. I didn’t even consider the older Papst power supplies.

@boywondr84 Both of my links above are the newer DC power supplies,

@elliottbnewcombjr  posted the link for the QC power supply which I believe is an upgraded Power supply for the older pre 2000(?) Papst AC power supplies. These are considered "vintage" so you can’t buy them new.

I find this reference useful: https://www.angelfire.com/music5/michell_gyrodec/ it may help during assembly.

Let us know how it works out. I’d especially like to know what year it is.

Good luck with the Gyrodec, you’ve got several Gyrodec fans rooting for you!

@dogberry posted the link for the QC power supply....

Did I?

OP, if your Gyrodec has the Technoarm 2 tonearm, it has a habit of fraying at the RCA connectors -- it’s a continuous cable. It happened to me and the result was the left channel coming in and out. Just something to look out for.

@dogberry No you didn't. So sorry, it's been a long day. Just trying to catch up before I crash.

the power supply is found.... if the Gyro has the Papst motor in AC you have three possibilities:

1) look for the original power supply which is like a mobile phone power supply is the bare minimum

2)  look for the most advanced and optimal Michell Gyropower power supply for the Gyrodec;
it is a good solution, it allows to obtain a good regularity of operation of the plate and it has an extremely clean current.
All of this is good for the sound.




 

3) look for THE Michell Gyropower QC (quartz control) even more advanced and performing power supply with quartz control and electronic adjustment for 33/45 (basically you don’t need to move the platter belt to go from 33 to 45 rpm.
the most expensive but also the best in the sound; obviously the last two power supplies are found only on the used market.

While if the Gyrodec has the next motor to the Papst which is the CC, you can easily find the simple and advanced original power supplies
