The turntable motor works only on DC. If you try to power it with AC you may burn it out. I bought a inexpensive HO transformer at a swap meet and used it to power my table. I found out about 3-6 volts made for a good turntable speed. some have said 12 volts is ok also.

PS if you have only AC you need to do some things
1 . install a bridge rectifier to change the AC to DC
2. install a potentiometer or some other device to regulate the voltage.
Experts like Gunrunnerjohn can give you much better advice.

You have asked at least 5 questions in a row.
Many members have responded in a lot of detail to you and you have never went
back to acknowledge a single one of your questions to any of them ??????????

Thanks to all you post to my inquiries. I do appreciate your links and directions and suggestions. I am a newbie to computers and not computer savvy like most.

If you purchased the turntable new from Atlas it includes a rectifier circuit in the box, so you can use the AC.
