Gremrock Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 So, We have a partly finished project of a MK1 Delphi Turntable with a nice arm, a killer cartridge and all the other bits pretty well in very good nick. This was to be my next turntable to upgrade from the "budget tables" I've been used to, but we've hit a snag with the speed controller board being damaged and struggling to repair it or replace it with something else... Wondering if anyone might have any parts lying around or another one with other parts broken that could serve as a doner machine (for a fair price for both parties of course :P), or possibly could point me in the right direction on how to proceed... If we were to look into the later motor upgrade kits, do these come with a new speed controller circuit or are the originals designed to serve them all?? Cheers in Advance!

mloutfie Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 not possible to copy the board using a breadboard? or get a PCB made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremrock Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'm not sure the story there but he's tried building a new one unsuccessfully, so I'm sure theres a good reason... He's given up after about 1000hours of time wasted on it (can't say I blame him) but If I can find a buggered doner table it might make everything better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guru Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Have you contacted Oracle direct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rondine Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Does it have the square Papst motor? ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremrock Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 I understand its the original Papst DC motor assembly.. I got a response back from oracle, definitely no original type parts available but I got a copy of the Schematics for the thing so fingers crossed we can build a new one now.. If anyone needs a copy give me a shout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telecine Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Oracle offer a complete upgrade at what is no doubt a significant cost. Origin Live kits are available and they might be your best bet. They do involve replacing the motor however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rondine Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 You can drill the rivets out and dismantle the motor. There are more parts inside the case. Check the motor coils are not open circuit. ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mloutfie Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hope you can remake the board. in the end it is just a voltage controller unless it uses a chip that is no longer made but most likely it uses lm337 lm317 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremrock Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 I'll update this thread if we have any success. If it falls through I'll probably go looking for a nice LP12. From a quick look it appears to be complete schematics I've been sent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mike Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 ANY Delphi should be given a new lease on life. If you give up on it, let me know. I can't stand to see old classics on the scrap heap? I'll resurrect it if it kills me. In the end, while it probably isn't the best iteration of the Delphi, it is still a lot of turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremrock Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Its had most of the upgrades from improved mat, delrin platter, mk6 bearing and more so it's a hell of a buy, but its not mine unless we get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rondine Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Might be worth checking Jaycar. Many years ago they sold these motors. Also used by Sota, Oracle Alexandria and a Harman Kardon with Rabco tonearm. ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofeline Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The Pabst motor hasn't been around for many years. Schematic for it is available here: http://thesourceturntable.blogspot.com/search/label/Papst GS 38-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royq Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi All I have a delphi any luck in finding a solution regarding the motor. Mine "works" but doesn't control speed and seems to flutter. I don"t want to go the full upgrade route. Anyone got an old motor lurking about ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
