What power supply is used on the LP12 ?
Is there any additional info on the deck?

I fear this is going to be an "uneducated" answer; the TT was plugged into the Taga distribution block. I've no idea what's within the deck itself.

'Valhalla' is the answer going by the on/off switch and if the deck was plugged into the distribution block directly.

The next question people will ask is whether it has the 'Cirkus' bearing upgrade. Looking at the age of the deck and the armboard I suspect it has but can't really tell without seeing a picture of the bearing with the outer and inner inner platters removed (if you do remove these use a cloth or wear gloves - don't get fingerprints on them).

Edit: on closer inspection the power supply could be a 'Mose Hercules', this is similar to the Valhalla but also offers 45rpm. Again, very difficult to tell the 'Valhalla' and 'Hercules' apart without looking inside the deck - it's definitely one of those two though.

A closer look at the pics does show that the plinth is one of the later 'corner braced' designs, which is good.

Even though I have no understanding of any of that, I'm pretty sure that thanks are due @YNWan !

Good detective work Mark.. You reckon you can guess at the sub chassis?

You can see the on/off switch has 2 lights, I don't think it's a Valhalla

Almost certainly Hercules power supply, should be a red and a blue LED.

[Tony01]

Re the power supply to the Linn, I've enlarged a different photo and cropped it to show just the switch on top of the deck.



Looks like red and blue LEDs to me?

[struth]

yup, hercules

Some very precious and highly sentimental items here. I hope you do well.
