Has anyone come across a 401, 60Hz platter in good condition? Emigrating to Canada within the next year, so need to change current platter.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of e-bay sales earlier this year which I missed, which would have solved the problem.

Or, is it just best to build/purchase a power supply which enables me to use the deck in Canada transforming their 110v 60hz supply to 230v 50Hz, which would also save on pulley and neon changes.

Any advice gratefully received.

Many thanks.

ps 401 is in a Loricraft plinth circa 2006, with Rega arm and Ortofon Rondo Red MC.

You can tell a 60 Cycle platter straight away by the markings.
