Reckon you should sort out Mik's first.

You might need a small crane, though;)
How long is the room where you have you beautiful system set up ? Is there simultaneously use of the living room space and the listener room ?

The out house contains a 35 by 14 foot room which includes a kitchenette and another room as a bathroom, plus a hall.

The shots of the sea view are actually in a separate two storey building that is much larger.

Sorry to mislead earlier.

It was built by these guys: https://www.moonarchitectandbuilder.co.uk/
Ok i thought the curtains to the right in the listening room opened up into the larger living room area, that would have given you some nice dimensions to work with, i personally knock down brick walls if it gets me a larger listening room.:rolleyes:

The lounge is much bigger than you can see in the shots. It's about 60 ft long and about 30 wide though it get both wider and narrower. The ceiling height also varies and rises to a skylight at 15 ft. It's impressive. But not by Beverly Hills standards LOL.

If we didn't have the out house and I wasn't married I would get some Apogee Full Range built to a custom spec. With your speakers I concur. You need space!

No more posts on my place please we have go way off track. Mods feel free to delete them all.
 
Into the sea with you, Justin Lol.
 
I think I know where you are now Justin, actually not too far from where I used to live before the wife got a job near London. Was great living near the beach when the kids were small. (24 and 22 now - time flies). Will grab you offline about the 211s.

Absolutely right. On the latter, I was very surprised how strong that motor is. It yanks the platter to speed in a couple of seconds. One of those motors where your finger gets smashed out the way. For measurement people I was super excited to adjust the speed and hit 33.33 +/-0.00% on the RPM app. My latest combined w/f last night with some tweaking was 0.10 again with RPM. These are stupendous measurements actually when you look at RPM wold rankings.
you should consider getting the 6C33 Mig reg tube psu...

what about contacting Tommy to either build you one or get the schematic. or if Mik or anyone else has it, copy it...

If I can find the schematic, I would happily build it for sure. I don’t think Mik has it - will ask him.
 
but thought you said something about different motor?

Motor seems to have changed over the years. If I search back through time I can see lots of iterations. Latest is a 12 pole high inertia dc motor with 3 Hall sensors and an encoder. Scant info exists on net about all the versions in history tbh.

Bill, do you know how many Watts the motor is consuming when operating ?
