Can I use the Walker Audio precision motor controller with the Avid Volvere turntable?
SP or no SP, if your Volvere has an outboard box between the wall socket and the motor, and if the box provides for any sort of speed adjustment, there is no use for the Walker.  The box is controlling motor speed.

Yep.  If the OP has this:http://www.avidhifi.com/turntable_volvere.htmThen there's no need for the Walker.  In fact, you would not want to place any device between the Volvere outboard box and the wall socket. 
Can I use the Walker Audio precision motor controller with the Avid Volvere turntable?
As to the compatibility of the Walker with the Avid Volvere, it suddenly occurred to me that the Volvere may come equipped with its own outboard speed control box, if my own memory of the Volvere is correct.  I don't know what's inside, but that o...

dob, The OP has an Avid turntable and wants to know whether the Walker Precision Motor Controller can run it.  I don't think he is in the market for a Walker turntable, or etc.  Why do you warn against buying used?  I owned a Walker Precision Moto...

By the way, good that it is an AC synchronous motor in the first place. 
Can I use the Walker Audio precision motor controller with the Avid Volvere turntable?
Watts?  The Walker easily drives motors that consume ~5W and probably a little more is OK, but you need to find out the power consumption and then possibly call Walker Audio to be sure their Motor Controller can handle it. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Pablo, I don't know where you "heard" that calibration of a QL-10 would necessarily cost $1000.  I believe that some time ago on this thread, JP Jones remarked that he could not hope to repair a malfunctioning unit for less than $1000.  That's a f...

What type of motor?  And what is the nominal power requirement, in terms of Watts?   
Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord?
etnier, My unit is a Steelhead.  I am not sure that it is configured exactly like a Chinook, so you would need to confirm that first.  I was also unable to obtain a schematic of the Steelhead.  Even my professional tech who runs a thriving repair ... 
Phono Protractor. Recommendations?
wrm, I too own the UNI, not the Smartie.  The way I think of it, the Smartie is an evolution of the UNI.  The UNI actually costs or used to cost more.  The problem with my early production UNI is that it does not have metric graduations on the cro... 
Phono Protractor. Recommendations?
The absolute cost no object best is the SMARTractor. The next best and much easier to use and cheaper is the Feickert. For one tonearm only, the Mint. 
Digital Microscope advice SRA
Joe, Sorry to be such a nihilist, but yes, judge by ear.  While I agree with bimasta that it takes a big change in VTA to make much of a measurable change in SRA, I also observe that small changes in VTA, done by ear, have a subtle but satisfying ... 
Digital Microscope advice SRA
 The idea of measuring SRA using a digital microscope seems to be about as current as last year‘s high fashion. In recent weeks or months, there have been a few convincing posts by knowledgeable persons in the field suggesting that most of us woul...

 Under the platter, you will find a rocker switch labeled “run” or “hold”. In the run mode the tachometer will display the RPM from zero to the set value. For example if you are set to 33.33, then the tachometer will read from 0 to 33.33 over and ...
