Electronic Cylinder Machine - The "Wilson Home"

[mrrgstuff]

In your machine, you could add an "electrical" connection also so that when a user set the spindle speed, the leadscrew speed was derived from the speed, rather than an independent control.

A two minute to four-minute switch would be needed and if you wanted, a "fine" leadscrew speed adjustment could be added for very minor changes.

That would be an ideal setup, but it would require a significant amount of electronics (over what the machine already has) and would require some expensive pieces of hardware.

....
I welcome any input you have on a potential way to integrate the mandrel speed with the feedscrew for 2M and 4M playback (this would make a nice potential "upgrade").

Thank you.

I didn't pose the original question, however there is a possible solution to this which I have used. Basically the tonearm is mounted on an electrically driven carriage. The action of the tonearm turning as it is pulled into the record causes a sensor to activate which advances the carriage. I've built this into my homebrew phonograph as shown in this video:

BTW I have been very impressed by the stuff on your YouTube channel especially the way you have molded records. Thanks
