Author Topic: AP-3 Phase Control Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-18-2007 04:43 PM                     I'd take them but I only have three platters left that by the end of the year will probably only see occasional use.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 02-19-2007 04:53 AM                     Is that why the AP-3 units have that one big wirewound resistor in the top of the tower to replace the smaller wirewound resistor in each motor of the older A-3 units when they redid the mode switch thing? Oh, I fully agree with what Mark and Steve had to input on all of this in using microswitches, for it makes perfect sense when we are dealing with AC powered (and sometimes 'dirty AC power') vacuum cleaner motors for drive motors instead of the DC driven Bodines of the LP-270 and the AW3 that are controlled by a controller box of sorts. I have one platter with Phase Control brains that I use when I do interlocking since I want a smooth payout at all times. Rest of them are on microswitch.  |  IP: Logged
