Mr Blackplate,
A friend is try to build himself a TT but he has little experience with circuitry so he asked me to look at the diagrams. The packaging came with way more diagrams than I included. I was able to get him started in the right direction at least. He then asked me about the purpose of the capacitor to which I didn't have an answer but do know. He also asked me how complex power he would need. Seems that in his research he has seen articles and post that indicate some builders go a to great lengths designing the supplies. I hindsight my choice of words may have been incorrect. To restate the question:
Would a simple 120 to 24 volt transformer work for a turntable supply or do I need to tell him to look for something better designed than that?
Also, does the type and quality of the cap used for the motor start have any impact on the motor performance?
Thanks,
Alan
