Badly! It doesn't have one . In practice I use some foculpods under the acrylic base and don't have any problems with vibration. Cheers, Ian Hi Ian Are you the guy that made the deck from an old Michell 'Mycro' TT ? Yep Andre, that was me. Nodrog, the build is over on Lenco Heaven, www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=13244.0

Sorry, I put the Mycro back together and sold it as a belt drive Michell - ironically worth more on Ebay like that. The buyer did take the legs so maybe one day it will reappear as a hybrid on a forum somewhere.

Now that would make a bloody good sounding AND gorgeous deck!
Wish I had never sold my Syncro for a Roksan back then, all I had to do was chuck the shitty Helius arm away and put something decent in its place. You live and learn.

When I sold my Syncro is was with this arrangement. I think the Gyro platter would fit but of course you would have to remove all the weights. I'd check with Michell if I was you.

Heh, yup! MP150. Embarrassingly, the colour was a deciding factor in the purchase choice!

Hi Ian o yes it will deffo fit.. I could ask Michell for a bearing i guess.. However im not wanting the Carbon loaded Acrylic platter but the Mk.I Alloy 'Gyro' platter.

This may not be pretty, but it sounds sublime (excuse the dust).
