Uncle Ants,
As Sideshowbob says, there is an element of trial and error involved but having seen how quickly a couple of experienced TT die-hards (one a Michell dealer) have achieved the "perfect bounce" (in just a few minutes), I believe that there is also some 'art' involved as well, rather than it just being trial and error alone. According to those guys, the vertical bouncing movements should last for between 30 to 40 seconds (with 40 seconds being the ideal target) after the centre of the platter has been pushed downwards and immediately released. The only things that would prevent the vertical bouncing movements to last for that long are sideways movements (incorrect set-up). However, if you decide to go the Gyro route, you could always take a look at the following link which is one of the best Michell Gyro set-up guides out there - just to whet your appetite.


FWIW, I did audition the Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck, Rega P25, Clearaudio Champion Level II & Gyro SE and I preferred the Gyro's presentation to that of all the others.
Enjoy the music,
Lawrie.
