Roller Drums for tissue culture; a question of rotation speed
Al, I know you won't believe this, but I have been following your post &
thought about a turntable but did not reply as I know zilch about all of this??? Anyway I must tell you that we hauled out our old Dual Turntable & connected it to a receiver & my computer. I have some old, old albums I want to copy. Well the belt drive for the pitch or speed was broken. My husband searched for one & the going price was $35!!! He used a wide rubber band. *g* -- Cheers Wendy Ps......There has to be a clever song title to go along with your experiment? Remove PETERPAN for email reply "Al" wrote in message om... : I just wanted to let people know what I finally did with regard to a : roller drum. I went into my attic where, low and behold, I found an : assortment of antique and very eBay-able turntables for those old : fashion records that many of you youngsters have never seen. I : actually have three of them that go back to my childhood up there. I : picked the Panasonic turn table with the built in 8 track player and : using a drill and some screws fashioned the spinning part to hold two : 16 flask holders. Setting at an angle it spins them quite well at 45 : rpms. I can load this contraption with about 10 flasks before it : starts to sound like it is working too hard and needs to be switched : to 78 rmps. Good enough to experiment with. : : The hardest part was disabling the auto changer and automatic needle : arm. I had to go into the box and remove a gear in order to prevent : all chance that it would decide to "change records" when I turned my : back. : : I have attached a lamp for illumination, and when I want to get really : silly I have some old speakers in the attic too, as well as a box of : 8-track tapes. (If they still play I will be amazed. There must be : some organism that eats magnetic tape) : : I probably could have sold the turn-table/8 track tape combo box on : eBay and bought a new roller drum. :-) : : Anyway, thanks for the input... |
