[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1011914, member: 404998"] Good evening Chris1979, Most of the parts came from a scrap video recorder, the new motor with a reduction gearbox is on order as the one from the VCR had too fast a spindle speed. The motor from China was £1.37 with free postage, I paid extra for faster delivery, £3.87 in total : ) It remains to be seen if it will be slow enough, if not there are many more listed at very low prices : ) It will also require about 20 meters of twin flex to my operating position, plus a low voltage power supply. The long shaft required is often seen in VCR's running from a small motor at the rear to the cassette opening mechanism. There are plastic and metal knitting needles that could well do the job. If you do not have a suitable VCR donor, most of the parts will be found on eBay for very little. God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
