Jeff brought over the harvested bread machine motor and we got it working with the transformer and a simple on/off switch. The trouble we ran into is that the shaft coming out of the bread machine motor is too short to come through the cabinet.
We have the original spindle from the turntable and we need to figure out a way to get them connected. Jeff picked up a piece of all-thread that will give us the correct distance. Now, we just need to figure out how to attach all 3 pieces together.
Ideas we have are coupling clamps, threading the spindles and connecting them via coupling nuts, a quick little weld.... or maybe just some glue and masking tape :P
Another thing that we noticed is that the motor is a bit too quick for our purposes. We have found a ton of simple circuits to slow it down and will have to incorporate one into this unit.
What we need....
Tap and die set
DC Motor Speed Control Circuit
Reducing Coupler Nuts
On/Off Switches
Female Panel Mount BNC Connector (for lamp)
