Have only had my aluminium rotaryworks for a short while and to be honest it doesnt get the use it deserves as its a bloody cracker, for the simple reason its not got an rca socket and that is all i use on all my other machines. So today instead of celebrating the Queens jubilee outside in the rain i decided to sort the matter in hand. A real simple job it was too. Remove the clipcord connectors and replace them with some shortened front binding posts ( from a coil machine) and a couple of m4 grubscrews then re use the non conductive spacer/strenghtening thing along with a simple rca conversion kit meant for a coil machine and a couple of m4 allen bolts. A simple conversion, a bit rough around the edges but it will ensure it pushes the rotary works into my daily rotation:) may have to find a brass one now!!10884

Thats a nice conversion Medusa, is that a copper pipe coupling youve used? I ask because that was an idea i toyed with originally but decided it didnt look right with the aluminium so am sat awaiting a job that involves a 28mm copper coupler:)

That's right Casey is a pipe coupler but I change the motor also at 12v. Chinese shit for 6 Euro and is running very good from 6v to 9v .I just found an old electronic store and is selling the Mabuchi motor 9v 2000-4000 rpm with 1euro is for tape recorders with 2 speeds I will try to fit it on the springer rotary work.
Check also that upgrade :)
