1 You do not need to use an isolation tranformer, the Lingo has one the Axis doesn't. Antrim transformers are good. 2 Not much they are for fine tuning the speed. 3 Battery strobes are superior but can be expensive, you can use your old disk, you can use a stop watch. Just count 180...

Approx 30V and 80V are the correct voltages. I do not know how you would alter them, I am not that much up on electronics. The power also cuts from about 3 amps for start up to o.2 amps at the 30 volt running speed. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what is wrong here?

The light only goes bright if the psu senses that the platter is running slowly. This only occurs for me on startup and if I use a record cleaning brush. Once the light dims the voltage has dropped and the inertia of the heavy platter keeps the correct speed even at the reduced voltage. You...

Sid, did you see my post about the Axis PSU for LP12 Axis PSU for LP12 finished

First get an Axis PSU and switch. I got one supposedly u/s for £22. (Running but not keeping correct speed). It turned out there was nothing wrong with it - the Axis must have had a sticky bearing or naff drive belt. You could buy a whole Axis and sell the other bits on ebay (arm, cart...

OK I have done it. Rumours abound, as to wether or not it could be done, but the offboard Axis PSU is now driving the LP12 in place of the old Valhalla. Result is Lingo like sound at a fraction of the cost. Circa £130.

I have obtained a faulty Axis PSU and Motor, I found this info about faults. Check the resistor that is is series with the input. If it's over 27 ohms replace it Early units were 47 ohms. I did not get the IEC connector or wiring so I do not have this serial resistance. Anyone know...
