Michell Gyro Mk II AC or DC?


Gents,

I have recently purchased a new Michell Gyro SE. I know that the Pabst AC motor that they used to use has now been replaced by a DC motor from another manufacturer. Does anyone know how to identify which motor is which by sight? I was thinking of getting a PLC that works with AC synchronous motors -- obviously a bad idea if I have the newer DC motor. Thanks in advance for any help.

Also, I have heard of a clear aftermarket belt for this 'table does anyone know who makes it or where it can be purchased?

Hi,
I recently upgraded to the DC "never connect" HR DC supply from Michell and a new DC Motor.There is a difference in the sound but not what I would suggest as grossly significant.More smoothing out of the high end.I am awaiting delivery of a Bluenote Bellaria the deck is the GYRO Se withe deep platter and the damping material stuck to the underside of the platter.The HR Supply is about five inches long x two and a half incmes wide and one and a half inches deep.with a On/Off switch on the left hand side.My colleague has a DC supply (Michell) which is a black box approx two x two inches.Hope this is of some help.
