To answer the various points made by Refugee, Alan, Lawrence, & Nick, yes it does have a small mains transformer fitted, and I have a small clamp-type Tx which o/ps 6-0-6v @100mA max, which is more than adequate for the Turntable, so I might fit that instead of the original. The exsisting bridge rectifier circuit should prioduce 13 - 14vDC from the full winding, which is higher than the 10vAC from the original Tx, but that way, I can fit a UK standard mains lead with 13A Plug (Fused @1 or 2A before anyone shouts!). Having said all that, the T/T runs quite happily from the 240/110v outboard transformer so I may just leave it as it is! I can download & print a strobe from somewhere, maybe Vinyl Engine, to check the speed.
