Funny noises about LP12's coming from the Private ads section

i might get 2 dc supplies for my gyro, so i can have a spare one.

 

Hurrah!
I am not the only one!
Mebbe my aversion to Michell decks is because I worked in Borehamwood for 5 years?
Tis a well dodgy place, and obviously their TTs reflect this. They might playback what's on a record, but they certainly don't make music..

 

no you need the right arm on it my friend, and the michell factory is a dump. have you ever been there?

 

the michell is not the best deck there is by far. but it is far better than an lp12 leonard. when you going to get a proper bike my friend?

 

Oy oy...
The Guzzi has been extensively tuned by Raceco to give 95 rear wheel horses... Not bad for a '74 pushrod twin that'll outdrag a CBR600!
I've got a tuned Norton Commando on the way as well - so none of yer Plastic Fantastic Power Ranger nonsense.

 

you should try an r1 that'll put hairs on yer chest!

 

Mebbe, but it'll also take my licence away, possibly kill me, and still be deeply uncool.

 

95 at the rear wheel my lawn mower has more than that.
my last real bike was an r1 160 at the back wheel is more like it my friend you should try it sometime

 

ok we won't start this bike talk aswell i love the old twins but never ridden a guzzi

 

I don't think that DC is a scam. the ac supply will derive the speed from the frequency. so if your supply is not bang on 50Hz the record will be slightly off speed, and any slow fluctuation in mains freq will affect the speed as well. fast fluctuations should be absorbed by the platter inertia.

 

That's just Top Trumps talk...
The R1 squeals like a stuck pig and invariably has a Born Again sitting astride it in matching leathers.
How can that be at all cool?
And it makes it too darn easy to go too fast - what you want is a 180 Laverda Jota. That'll give you some wrestling practice!!!

 

As I said on page whatever, there's no more Brand Loyal owner than a Guzzi owner.
They might be slow and agricultural, but they're my slow and agricultural. Well, quite quick actually, but still ancient in design..

 

laverda jota that brings back memories. and i'm not a born again biker i have been ridding no stop for 25 years leonard. i grew up on old yamaha 2 strokes

 

bought a new 600 hornet before leaving the uk. have hardly riden it at all ,i think i am loosing the bike bug( i thought that would never happen to me) probably give up biking now. and we have awesome roads here in sweden, no police around, no cameras and beautiful quite roads.

 

kenny you buy one first and let me know the results yea! go direct to michell they will flog you one, ask for steve and tell him you used to buy direct from jon michell himself.

 

It's amazing how much some people will pay for a power supply, when you look at the insides - a couple of cheap components. The companies that shift these must make a wedge.

 

will do, though changing my Quad 306s for a s/h pair of Gamma Aeons is next on my list before I go down that route. have only just gone for the Orbe upgrade to the Gyro. so it will probably have to happen later, rather than sooner. also as I'd be sans plinth for a while as they drill out the perspex for the standalone DC motor I might just opt for the spider chassis.

Anyway, if you have any sense you'll not believe my ears and have to hear it for yourself to be sure . as I said before it will largely depend on the quality of your mains as to how much difference you hear between ac motor and dc.
also I've done the blu-tac mod. takes the gyro to another dimension...

 

blu tac under neath u mean. and the stand alone motor changes it beyond belief you must do that my friend. i have mine sitting on a seperate glass shelf. i'll send you some photos if you want?

 

they are . these company bosses are all bloody wealthy. sme's boss is a multi millionaire.
and you right power supplies are a rip off plain and simple, if you part with 400 quid you EXPECT a gain yes but it has never happened to me yet. jesus the lingo is around 1000 quid these people must be ----ing crazy to pay that.

 

what arm do you have kenny?

i use a gold plated sme series v. looks awesome on the gyro
