Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question
I may be acquiring a Michell Gyrodec from a family member but have been told that it is missing the power supply. My questions are:
1) Can a replacement be found?
2) Is there an upgrade replacement available?
3) Is it not worth it?
My current TT is the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M Blue. I've read a little bit about the Gyrodec and it looks and sounds like it is killer table with a lot of upgrade possibilities but I'd like to get a sense of how difficult / costly it may be to even get it up and running.
Thank you for your responses and insight!
I really like my gyrodec so I think it's worth the effort. The HR power supply is the upgrade. I found it to be a significant improvement. It was cheaper a few years ago though. https://fidelityhifi.com/products/michell-hr-power-supply If you want to roll the dice with a used PS, this might work for you: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649888139-michell-gyro-se-power-supply/
Best of luck, let us know how it turns out! |
@mgattmch Good catch. I didn’t even consider the older Papst power supplies. @boywondr84 Both of my links above are the newer DC power supplies, @elliottbnewcombjr posted the link for the QC power supply which I believe is an upgraded Power supply for the older pre 2000(?) Papst AC power supplies. These are considered "vintage" so you can’t buy them new. I find this reference useful: https://www.angelfire.com/music5/michell_gyrodec/ it may help during assembly. Let us know how it works out. I’d especially like to know what year it is. Good luck with the Gyrodec, you’ve got several Gyrodec fans rooting for you! |
@dogberry No you didn't. So sorry, it's been a long day. Just trying to catch up before I crash. |
