Speed Control for Basis 2800 Signature

Hi Dickson. I'll definitely reach out to Bill and see what he thinks and thanks Chayro as well, I've put in a call to AJ but haven't heard back from him yet.

As far as rewiring the motor, what's a little shock and electrocution when the end result is a perfectly locked in rpm and the music is sounding good :)

I use a Walker Precision Speed Controller with excellent results. I used a VIP controller previously, the Walker was a big improvement. Walkers can be found for around $900 used.

With my Basis 2500

Thanks.

I've done a lot of surfing around and have come across the Phoenix Eng. Roadrunner tachometer and Eagle PSU (power supply unit). The PSU supplies ample energy to drive the motor and syncs with the tach via cable to read and adjust platter speed via voltage output once a second, thereby keeping speed precise in real time, as opposed to setting a speed on a controller and hoping assuming that it's maintained. Will arrive next week and I'll see if it lives up to the hype.

Please post your comments or findings when you have setup the Phoenix Eng.system. I doubt if you will be disappointed. I cannot live without them as they provide accurate speed consistently which makes them far better than a Walker or VPI controller.

I also had speed problems with my Basis TT and the only way to adjust speed was to use the Phoenix speed controllers.
