@quincy Can you confirm that the belt is in the top position of the motor spindle? And not the bottom position? That’s the difference between 33.3 and 45 rpm.
Please Help. J. A. Michell Gyro SE - Speed Issue
Back in 2003 I purchased a used Michell Gyro SE from a fellow member on Audiogon. Excellent table, excellent design....
About a month ago the speed of the platter increased; way faster than 33 1/3.
I've sent multiple emails directly to Michell in England, but alas, no reply.
I have not tried to call them directly, and may try to do so.
Does anyone know of anybody or any company in North America that can provide service for J.A. Michaell turntable?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Try the belt first. Does your gyrodec have the older ac motor or the newer (post 2000?) dc motor? This link may help. https://www.angelfire.com/music5/michell_gyrodec/ My dc motor has a speed adjustment. Hope this helps. |
I wouldn’t give up on fixing this turntable. I’m not familiar with your motor or power supply, however, the problem could be with either. I upgraded to the HR Power Supply which has the speed adjustment on the back. You can contact Michell here, they will likely be able to provide some guidance:
I would call in person rather than email. They look a little swamped.

@quincy, that’s great news! Let us know how the new motor works out. |
@quincy That’s excellent news, well done! |
