Some technical info
Please dont shoot me as i'm not that technical , will try and explain in my best AudioAl way
The TT has a speed control box with a rotory dial
10 o'clock is standby
12 o'clock is on 33.3 RPM
2 o'clock is 45 RPM
Also the unit has 2 pot's for speed adjustment
Also has a seperat box used for on / off of platter rotation
Now this is where it gets clever , The unit has a magnetic driven plater , It's fully decoupled from the drive unit , The drive ( Lower unit ) has 3 motors ( Belt drive ) set at 120 degree's apart
When you look between the drive unit and upper platter you can see a 20 thou air gap , The magnets in the lower drive grip the upper unit and turn the platter
It's quite novel to see this in action , switch it on and the lower drive unit starts to turn , Then a second or so later the upper platter picks up speed , When you switch it off the same happens as they stop rotating at different time's
Will try at a later date to do a video of this happening
That's all for now , Need to get the arm and cart on
