Mikewong you have mail.
Hi luvdunhill. Glad you found your missing resistor. I worked very hard to get you the best parts kit. I counted every parts two time, used check sheet, etc.. It was a very long process, that I won't do again for sure 😉 Too much work and no glory...

If for any reason Mike decides not to buy the pulley, I'll have it. It may be useful to have the option of driving the Roksan's outer platter...
Toaster ,
I don`t thick I have any reason not to buy this pulley as my own DIY
Linn is on the way just missing the pulley.Hopefully I might proceed the payment and receive the item within next week.

Yes, very, very late to the party, I realize, but if anybody has a speed controller kit or pcb they aren't going to use, please drop me a line.
Thanks,

My tape pulley is up for sale!!
bad luck, the hole in my beautifully finished pulley isn't perfetly centered so its flickering is pretty visible. If anyone has the knowledge and expertise to make it work I'll accept any offer.

Bummer, unfortunately you can't fix that. How did you install it on the motor shaft?

The hole diameter is just perfect, I gently pushed the pulley in and when fixed with screws it stay firmly in position. But when the motor is on I can see the hole on top going round

The hole is not concentric with the outside diameter of the pulley so you cannot easily fix it. You could attempt to true it up by inserting a precision pin into the hole and cinching down the set screws (if it has any) and placing it in a collet and turn the O.D. of the pulley using a lathe. It's really not worth the effort, IMO.
Did you measure using a very accurate digital gauge between the hole outside wall to the outside pulley circumference? If you do, you will probably see that the hole is perfectly centered. I saw the same optical effect on all the pulleys, but it seems like the metal came out a little when the centre hole was drilled. then it is this small lips (or metal deformation) that you see when the pulley is turning.
Just a guest, again, I'm not an expert in mechanic, I was just the middle man for the pulleys. The pulleys that I tried were running just fine with the controller. Did you tried it into an actual complete setup?
Maybe Greg has some opinion on that matter. I know that he did his best to build the best custom pulley he can. I just hope we won't start a flame with these pulleys
Greg help us a lot in providing these pulleys at a very fair price when nobody was interested in such a small production run for a very accurate custom job.

Even if you measure as you state, you still cannot prove the hole is straight. Cylindricity is the technical term.

IOW, the hole could have wandered. I doubt this happened because it was bored but it is possible. If you are using calipers to measure total accuracy, it is not going to give you results to the point of perfection, as you mentioned. Not trying to start a flame, just trying to help troubleshoot the problem, if there is indeed a problem with his pulley. If the hole is off by even 0.001" you will see noticable "wobbling" and it will induce vibration.
I know that Greg was waiting for a bore bar before starting the pulley. It was probably for this hole. Well I'm at lost here, cannot help you more on that.
Algar_emi,
Please contact me so that I can proceed the purchase of the pulley.

Thousands of thanks Algar ! Amazing work !
Received all this morning. But I didn't find the mylar tape in it.
Let me know.
The motor pod is looking great.

I've measured the one I have here at home and it is fine, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem. I will check at work a spare I have there and see if there is a problem with it. I will replace any pulleys that are not up to specifications. I will also find out what happened, since after setup a fine apprentice ran the job. If there is a problem I apologize for any inconvenience and will do my best to set things right. If you have a faulty pulley please contact me directly greg.nuspel(at)telus.net
