Mike's Take

This is everything you need to mechanically convert a Gyro SE to an Orbe SE. This doesn't include any of the electrical stuff.

The Michell Orbe Platter Kit is the mechanical half of a Gyro SE to Orbe SE conversion. It swaps the platter assembly for the 60mm impedance-matched platter used on Michell's flagship Orbe, along with the screw-down clamp, threaded spindle and damping materials that go with it. It does not include the electrical side of the conversion, which is a separate kit.

What Is In The Kit

60mm thick extra heavy impedance-matched platter
Screw-down record clamp, compatible with standard and 180g audiophile pressings
Replacement threaded record spindle
Denso Damp sub-chassis damping material
Replacement drive belt
Convex platter retaining nut and ring, to help flatten uneven vinyl

Comprehensive fitting instructions are supplied.

Will It Fit Your Turntable?

The Orbe Platter Kit fits the GyroDec, the Gyro SE and the Revolv. It goes on decks that already have the black acrylic platter and the inverted main bearing. If yours does not have both, those parts and the current springs or spring adjusters need to be fitted before the Orbe platter will go on. Contact us before ordering and we will work out exactly what your deck needs.

Completing The Conversion

This kit covers the mechanical conversion. For the electrical side, check out the Orbe Motor and Power Supply Replacement. Fitting both is what takes a Gyro SE to full Orbe SE specification.
