It’s quite amazing that this is supposed to be a higher end turntable and the manufacturer is not even bothering to respond to your emails(?). I would say that is not a sign of being a high-quality manufacturer. After all, what you do expect, reasonably, from higher-end brands is great service and a high-level of customer service responsiveness.
Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue
Back in 2003 I purchased a used Michell Gyro SE from a fellow member on Audiogon. Excellent table, excellent design....
About a month ago the speed of the platter increased; way faster than 33 1/3.
I've sent multiple emails directly to Michell in England, but alas, no reply.
I have not tried to call them directly, and may try to do so.
Does anyone know of anybody or any company in North America that can provide service for J.A. Michaell turntable?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Greetings Friends! I did receive the new DC motor and controller from Mike @ the listening room. The instructions were concise, but required cutting wires and then soldering wires near critical electronic components. All this to get a new hook up. I took another path, which was to drill out the motor housing hole which allows you to pass thru the 7/16" connector plug. If you look at the photo album attached below via Google Link you will see what I’m talking about. It worked just fine! New motor ran a bit fast, but I adjusted it with my Cardas Frequency Sweep record with strobe label. We are back in business, but ~$700 poorer. Still less expensive that purchasing a new high quality table. As a side note, anyone know of a company that could look over my old motor controller and see if they can repair it. Would be nice to have a spare.... Be good, take care! |
@quincy That’s excellent news, well done! |
