Systemdek IIX
Two Speed Belt Driven Suspended Turntable
(2 reviews)
Description
The Systemdek IIX features a 3-point sprung chassis and AC synchronous motor.
The sub-chassis is formed from a heavy steel plate, reinforced by an aluminium extrusion.
Original models had 'oil pump' type main bearings and teardrop shaped mdf arm boards, later variants having oblong arm boards in aluminium, and plain main bearings.
The Standard platter on the IIX was glass, with an acrylic version (as used on the 2X2) available as an upgrade.
IIX - manual speed change
IIX electronic - internal electronic speed control
IIXE - offboard electronic speed control
IIX/900 - metal armboard
IIX/900AP - metal armboard / acrylic platter

Review
The Systemdek IIX surpasses any similarly priced rival and indeed, several more expensive models - What HiFi
Fine results were obtained on audition. Stereo images were well focused, while good depth and midrange detail were evident. The bass was notable for it's clean, even quality, showing good attack and tunefulness - HiFi Choice 1984

Bargain price for a fully suspended deck, but build quality on early examples not what it should be. Benefits from arm and cartridge upgrades.

Nice deck for the money. Fully restored with AN acrylic platter, LP12 motor; Jelco SA-370H; Cardas IC; Benz Micro Gold; Mose/Valhalla PS..... Keeps me smiling every listen....worth every penny...a definite keeper...

Hello,
I am looking for information, specifications and values for the electronic controller to the motor of my Systemdek IIX turntable. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Systemdek IIXe PCB Values
Hi - What do you want to know ?
The TTD3 board used in the IIXe was always a problem, due to the zenner divider resistor being a tiny bit too small for the 400Ma required by the electronics. I am guessing here, but I would expect the reason you are requesting information is that this resistor has burnt out and you are not sure as to its value ?
If you can let me know if the zenner in that part of the circuit is the 12V or the 10V (both were used!), and the country that you are using it in (110V, 220V or 240V). I will calculate the value and power of the resistor for you. I would also strongly recommend that you replace the Zenner too.
If the fault is in the output driver pair, then TIP50's will probably do, but any NPN with a Vce better than 400V will be fine - These just switch rectified mains at 50Hz or 68Hz according to the switch position, but do check the two diodes at the base and emiter of the final transistor, as a fault in the final stage will have almost certainly destroyed these.
If your fault is in the 50/65Hz generating cct, then you will never find the parts to fix it, as the M706Bi is long obsolete and pretty much impossible to source.
I will try to CAD up a schematic for the board, as I have my own copy scribbled out on paper and you are probably not the only person trying to fix one.

Where's the best place to find needles for the IIX? I just came across one that probably hasn't been played in years....I want to get her up and running, but I don't thinks the needle works.....
Lid needed
Anyone got a lid for a Systemdek IIX they'd like to sell me? Private Message please!

I have 2 systemdeks. One is a not working so I have a spare lid at the mo.

Good Afternoon,
I'm sure it's probably been spoken for, but if you still have that spare lid and are interested in selling it, I would lie to buy it?
Let me know,
Thanks
Turtable lid
I have just purchased a SystemdekllX without a lid if you still have an extra I would like to purchase it. Please reply to Ed edmuff@myfairpoint.net
Thank you

I just attempted to use my Systemdek IIX after many years and it won't turn on. Does it have a manual turntable? How should it work. I'm a real novice.
Thanks for any help.
Systedek IIX wont turn on
I have the same problem, what did you find out? Than ks for your help
Check the belt... Might have
Check the belt... Might have slipped off over the years...
