patrol42td Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) SOLD Item: Oracle Delphi MkII Turntable, Wall Shelf & Acrylic CoverLocation: Melbourne South-Eastern SuburbsPrice: $1750.00Item Condition: Used, but in very good conditionReason for selling: UpgradePayment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD OnlyExtra Info: Well, I never I thought this day would come. After 10+ years of faithful service, it is time to sell my Oracle Delphi MkII. As can be seen from the photos below, the turntable is in very good condition. The only issue is that the Oracle light does not work. It comes complete with acrylic platter mat and 6 armboards - a blank, an Audio Technica AT-1100, an Audiomods / Rega RB, a Moerch DP, an SME, and another unknown. Both the Michell spikes & cups and the original feet are included, along with the original calibrator disc. I have been using a custom power supply (Sonic Art Audio), but also have the original psu (120V). I got a Maintenance Kit a few years ago - the old springs and suspension tower components plus the belt are thrown in. Included in the sale is the wall shelf and the acrylic dustcover. Local pickup is preferred as I don't have the packing boxes. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Pictures: Edited November 16, 2017 by patrol42td Changed original PSU Voltage from 110 to 120. Included acrylic platter mat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwertyqaz Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 What is the age? Also there are more mods like mkv correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrol42td Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi Qwertyqaz, As far as I am aware, MkII Delphi's were produced between 1984-1987. I purchased the turntable on eBay back in early 2007 from a seller in USA. From what I can remember, the seller indicated that the suspension internals were bought up to MkV spec - I might still have the paperwork from the purchase, I'll do my best to find it and upload a photo or 2. Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterbean Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 did you buy it from the US? So is it a 120v machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrol42td Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi Stever, Yes, I did buy it on eBay from a seller in the USA. The motor is DC, but the original psu that came with the turntable is 120V AC to 27V DC, which obviously isn't suitable here in Australia. So I purchased a 230V AC to 27V DC custom power supply from Sonic Art Audio. Hope this helps. Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rori Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi Chris, Did you ever get the chance to see if the suspension internals were upgraded to the markV spec? Cheers, Rori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrol42td Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) G'day Rori, I looked but couldn't find the original documents - obviously put them in a safe place back in 2007! I will take some pictures and upload them. All I can add is that the suspension tower internals of the Mk VI look pretty-much identical to what is in my Mk II as far as components go - springs, grommets, felt dampener etc. Cheers, Chris.

patrol42td Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 3 pictures of the suspension tower internals have been added. One is taken from the current Mk VI owners manual, and the other 2 are of the Mk II. From what I can see, the internals are pretty-much the same - I used the same template to set the suspension height on both turntables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etidbd Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Would the light be a hard fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrol42td Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hi etidbd, I do not believe it is a difficult task to replace the globe, but given it doesn't impact the sound I have never bothered to get it done. Maybe some others on the forum with experience in replacing the globe can comment on the complexity @SonicArt may be able to assist. Cheers, Chris.
