TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER



Speed Controller for Technics Mk3 lost in shipment, so I need a replacement.

Anyone out there know someone who has one?

Happy to reward a successful referral.

What should one of these cost these days?

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can provide.

Best,

Many factors are to be taken into consideration, much will depend upon geographic location, private or commercial seller, operational and cosmetic condition, whether or not the unit is original or restored (including the origination of service) and native voltage operating requirements. The rarest type, universal selectable 110v/120v/210v/220v/50Hz/60Hz voltage Technics Sp10Mk3 power supply will most typically demand higher prices than the most common 100v/50Hz/60Hz power supply or even the less seldom seen 120v/60Hz North American model. Considering the vital role of the Sp10Mk3's power supply, which of course contains the primary logic, drive and controller boards, its value will well exceed that of just an orphaned Mk3 motor, platter unit. I am afraid there is no etched in stone black and white answer, however, the market will usually dictate the demand and subsequently the asking price of rare and desirable components such as this.
Cdk, I am anticipating arrival of a clients spare Technics Sp10Mk3 power supply/controller shortly, which will be offered for sale with transferable warranty.  This model was originally serviced, bench tested and rebuilt by Soren Wittrup (CS Electronics), a real legend in the realm of high end electronics technicians specializing in part with open reel to reel services and modifications.  Soren is endorsed by recording industry guru John Klett and has worked as a private contractor for a variety of major recording studios and professional venues.  PM me if you are interested.       
Cdk84, I am afraid the aforementioned 100v 50Hz/60Hz Technics Sp10Mk3 power supply as mentioned above has already sold.  However, we just received another power supply for which you, or perhaps another person, may be interested in.  This model is the rare Technics Sp10Mk3 XA series power supply, which is readily switch configurable for 110v/120v 60Hz and 210v/220v 50Hz operation.  Actual pictures of the power supply, including interior, can be provided upon request.  Operational condition and functionality is flawless.  Anyone please PM with questions.  On a last note, we occasionally work directly with Bill Thalman as well as Soren Wittrup in Chicago.
