Cheap upgrade for michell gyro

[Marra]

What an excellent idea.

The Cartridge Thing made it onto my TT, it is just the fixed version , with 2 more made and sent to 2 AOS members, to leave honest feedback on ,here or wam

so now to the Gloop , this makes the turntable faster , contains oil , grease and oil, now in test's it will speed up the deck by upto .5rpm with one deck going from 28.8 to 33.1 . and hope when fully used it will climb just a little bit more ,

i have been experimenting with the feet and skate board wheels, now the thread on the Michell feet are 1/2 bsf and m6 , the m6 is to lock the top part onto the spider keeping the suspension in place, how ever the 1/2 then screws into the tender feet this seems to lock up in the foot , which is intended to be adjustable, you try and adjust it , it will ether not turn or will undo the M6 which inturn unscrews the suspension , to stop this,i am having a small adaptor made, to fit the rubber isolators and to screw into the feet , you just remove the top part of the michell foot and fit this , it would decouple the foot from the deck , for the first time , the suspension is now decoupled from the stand it sits on and you still can adjust the level using the foot , i will have some pictures next week ,
stay safe

Great idea Peter...I'll be employing this method very shortly.....

[gwernaffield]

these will be made soon , because the tender foot uses an outdated thread 1/2 bsf , TPA has not got the tooling to make them at the end of this month ,fingers crossed,

309 -310 this is my 309 set up as a 310 , now the proffessors may say this is impossible, but the difference in the 2 arms in not a lot , and to those who will say it is not in the correct spindle to cartridge position that is where the prototype device comes into its own , so now you can set the arm on the piviot point and move the cartridge to were you want , you can set the 309 on the same position as the V , but i prefair the 310 setting , the device decouples the cartridge from the tonearm and allows the user to put the stylus where ever they want , the one in the arm is to prove the consept , and is a rough prototype, but it works very well

[gwernaffield]

this isolates the foot from the chassis , it does not touch the foot , the center part of this is seperate and held in the rubber which houses a m6 thread it will have a cover , that is still being made, a simple and effect isolation anti vibration device used in industry ,but now converted to fit the normal michell foot

[gwernaffield]

yes it is set on the correct position piviot to stylus, as well, checked with the sme 310 protractor ,
