The problem is with early DC Pink Triangle turntables is that they
were notorious for chucking any old 9V (or in my case 12V) power
supply that they could get hold of with them. They are all different.
I think they just grabbed them from second hand scalextric sets!


Assuming the unit has on board regulation, the actual PS may not be that
important - just adequate.


My only contact with the PT is that one of the people in my old research
group had one and it went wrong many years ago. I can't recall the details
now but I think one resistor was being used as a series dropper and was
under-rated so eventually fried. Overall, not impressed with the design of
the electronics.
