The Pulley Decison Time :smash:

Hi Everyone. As you probably knew from the thread, the standard pulleys Teres or BIX are too small to support 33-1/3 rpm & 45 rpm with this controller/motor design. To support both speeds, the controller needs a custom pulley with a diameter of about 17mm.

Greg Nuspel is working on the custom pulley and will offer both design, tape and/or string. Prices are not out yet but I asked him to match the Teres price of 25$ or better if possible, I will post detailled design pdf once the design is completed. Greg will make a prototype for me to try before production.

Greg will do a production run of the pulleys, so I can supply you with the custom pulley instead.
It will be made of aluminium T6 treated material to prevent oxidation and platter deposit. It also offers great strenght and it is light.
It will be manufactured to really thights tolerances, offer a thru hole and can be mounted using two opposite set screws as recommended by Vinyl-Addict. So it will be easy to remove without motor damage.

SO THE BIG QUESTION:
All of you, you need to confirm me by email what pulley do you want the Teres/BIX or the custom Tape or String Pulley.
My recommendation: Go for the custom pulley. It will be a one time offer, support both speed, it is easy to install/remove.
Later, if you want to try, you can always get at any time the Teres or the BIX one directly from them.
It won't be the case with this pulley.

So reply by email with your choice.

Thanks...
 
Here some detailled drawings of the proposed pulleys. Nice work Greg and tanks everyone for you input on this design. It is more or less a reproduction of the original design by Vynil-Addict, but split in two different type to reduce the pulley size and mass. It also includes Vinyl-Addict suggestion of the two opposite set screws installtion method.
