I got a The AR Turntable (XE) that apparently someone did a halfway 240volt 50 Hz conversion. The decal says 240v and the motor is 110v 60 Hz. And it runs about 40 rpm on the low speed. . . deducing it still has the larger 50 Hz pulley. . . shaft is .125, 33 rpm size is .984, 45 is 1.339 inch diameter. Do you have any 60 Hz pulleys for this guy? Are they the same as an XA or XB? They all look similar.
Thanx Wayne, I found Joel @ The Turntable Factory. He is sending one "for a favor to be returned later" maybe Scott amp & tuner restoration work I do. The dimensions confirm the problem was a 50 Hz pulley. Martin W.
I'm glad you asked, Wayne! A section of my web site www.Wizard-Labs.com > Technical > Projects shows some of the stuff I have been up to. Been fooling around with more guitar stuff lately. A 1948 Magnatone is nearly restorated. A 6V6 PP 10W 12" in brown crocodile hide! I just got a late model Fender Bronco-- mostly for the cabinet that is a dead ringer for a tweed Champ. Was going to dumpster the amp but everybody on Harmony Central said the clean tone was great and they wished the drive channel wasn't so terrible. Sounded like a challenge. . . I'm just emerging from the lair now after 4 hours tinkering. That little puppy sounds a lot like a tweed Champ now! 1,000% better at any rate. I guess he gets to stay in his cabinet. Oh well, the 2BMesafied Bogen is still looking for a suitable habitat. Anyway, the web site sales inventory is out of date. Check back in a couple weeks to see the good audio stuff coming in. Lots 'o turntables and classic speakers. Some of the super-collectible stuff goes straight to ebay. . . ID is "m_artofthedeal". Thanx for the help and lending a sympathetic ear, Martin.
