THE CLASSIC MICHELL TURNTABLE

The GyroDec turntable was first introduced in the early 1980s and employed a design that outperformed any other turntable at the time. Utilising a hanging pendulum-style sub-chassis with an isolated drive motor, the Gyrodec literally turned turntable design on its head and influenced the future of vinyl playback.

Although the modern GyroDec may look very similar to the original 1980s design, the current Gyrodec is far more sophisticated. Everything from the motor and power supply to the platter and main bearing has been redesigned and improved to ensure the performance and reliability of the turntable remains class-leading.

The classic Michell turntable, continuously refined during many years of development to the current level of performance. The Michell GyroDec is a three-point spring-suspended turntable of medium mass, which is compatible with most quality tone arms in existence. Earlier GyroDecs can always be brought up to present spec, and every modern GyroDec can be upgraded to almost the status of the mighty Orbe.

Features

Low contact area feet.

The solid aluminium feet of the turntable are shaped so the area in contact with the supporting surface is very small, this is done to minimise the transfer of vibrations from the supporting furniture into the turntable.

Three point spring suspension system.

Three suspension towers are fixed to the acrylic base to hold the suspension springs in place and provide height adjustment for the sub chassis.

Weighted pendulum style sub chassis.

Hanging on the three suspension springs, this provides a rigid dense platform to mount the main bearing, platter and tonearm assembly, ensuring there is no movement between them, while also acting as a ‘resonance / vibration sink’ drawing away unwanted vibrations from the sensitive elements of the turntable.

Inverted oil circulating main bearing.

Contrary to traditional designs, our main bearing has the point of rotation at the top of the assembly, not at the bottom. This orientation allows us to fully lubricate the inside of the entire bearing while the platter is turning. We achieve this by way of a modified Archimedean screw that we machine into the inside bore of the bearing. The oil is drawn from a reservoir at the base of the main bearing up to the thrust ball at the top, fully lubricating as it goes, it then returns to the reservoir via a waste hole drilled into the bearing spindle. Lubricating the precision parts of the main bearing in this way means that any potential for noise or vibration created by the rotation of the platter is avoided.

High density acrylic base.

This provides a rigid non resonant surface to fix the suspension system to.

Impedance-matched platter with solid brass weights.

The platter material was chosen for its vibration dampening characteristics and because sonically it is a very similar material to vinyl, so it has a very neutral sound characteristic. The brass weights are added to give the platter extra mass and subsequently more momentum when spinning. This greatly improves speed stability and helps keep wow and flutter to a minimum.

Free standing motor unit.

The motor unit used to drive the turntable is completely separate to the turntable, meaning it doesn’t touch the turntable in anyway. The only connection between the motor and the turntable is the drive belt that drives the platter. This stops any noise or vibrations created when the motor is running, getting through to the sensitive parts of the turntable.

Hinged lid.

The turntable comes with a hinged clear acrylic lid to protect the turntable from dust and damage. The hinges are made in two parts that allow the lid to be easily removed if required.

Record clamp.

Supplied with a standard record clamp, this helps flatten warped or uneven vinyl and reduce resonance within the vinyl disk.

Pleasantly Surprised!
Color: Grey Striped, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I was looking for this exact product but didn’t know it! We recently moved into a new home and had zero window treatments so needless to say I wanted something quick, affordable and not vinyl WalMart blinds. We are happy with our purchase and would highly recommend to others. Some complain of the adhesive not sticking- make sure to clean the window wells/walls etc prior to installing these. If the surface is free of dirt/grease there will be no issues with them staying put.

great quality pickle ball set of two
I really love the look of this pickleball set. The blue color and overall design look very stylish and premium. The quality feels great, and the portable carry bag makes the whole set even more convenient. I especially like that it comes with a bag because it makes it easy to store everything and carry it to the court. It also makes this set a great gift option for any pickleball lover. This set includes two blue pickleball paddles along with balls and a convenient carry bag to keep everything organized. Since it comes with two paddles, it is perfect for playing a quick game with a friend or practicing together. It works well for both indoor and outdoor courts. The paddles feel very well made. They are constructed with fiberglass, which makes them lightweight yet durable. Each paddle is around 8 oz, so they are easy to handle and comfortable even during longer games. The 13 mm polypropylene honeycomb core provides a nice balance of power and control while also helping reduce noise and vibrations when hitting the ball. Another feature I really appreciate is the TPU edge protection. It helps protect the paddles from accidental drops and everyday wear and tear, which is especially useful if kids are also using them. The grip is another highlight. It has a cushioned and textured design that feels very comfortable in the hand. The breathable grip helps absorb sweat and prevents slipping, so you can play for longer periods without discomfort. The handle width also feels ergonomic and easy to hold, making it suitable for extended play. The included carry bag is very practical. It easily fits the paddles and balls, and there is still room to add small items like a towel, water bottle, phone, or keys. It is comfortable to carry and makes transporting the set very easy. Overall, I find this pickleball paddle set to be stylish, durable, and well designed. The quality feels great and it is perfect for beginners as well as casual players. I would definitely recommend it, and it also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys pickleball.

I have much more expensive paddles but my wife has her best games while using these.
This paddle set comes with 2 paddles, 2 indoor balls, 2 outdoor balls, 2 extra grip tapes, and a bag large enough to fit all of these and small items like keys, wallet, etc. There’s a front zipper pocket, that I can put most of my accessories in. Then the larger main cavity that holds the paddles and everything else is also zipper operated. Now let’s talk paddles. These are 13mm width paddles. They’re very lightweight, making the flickability a lot easier vs other heavier paddles. The paddles weigh only 7.1oz. The surface is fiberglass and is frosted. Allowing for some grip to assist with adding a topspin or slice to the ball. Since this is 13mm you can feel a bit of dwell time, although it’s not as much as the 16mm paddles. The feed back and response of the paddles are excellent. They produce a loud pop as the paddles makes contact with the ball. The grip tape on the paddles as they arrived as well as the extra grip tape is absolutely premium. They are sweat wicking, ribbed and is very grippy. This is great for some heated matches. Your paddles will not slip easily. This is a great entry set to pickleball for the family without reducing quality and at a great price. I’ve played against my cousins and they have about a year of pickleball under their belt over me and I can beat them with their $200 paddles with these. That says very little but consider this set as an excellent quality stepping stone.
