Does anyone have a PDF of the manual for this piece of [puke]

?

It looks very similar to the infamous Super Platter , but not exactly the same.

If nobody has the manual, then would anyone know how interchangeble the parts between the Super Platter and the NSP-3 are?

Very interchangeable. Only the brain and disc hub design (the NSP's brains are removeable) and the discs (1/2" thick aluminum-covered honeycomb fiber with nylon bushings (prototypes) or dual needle bearings (production)), and the rollers (the smaller black or gray rollers compared to the SPP-3's white nylon rollers) are different. The wiring, variac, motors, and parts on the top of the brain are all the same, save for different color paint/plastic on some of the parts.

FWIW, the two new NSP3s I had installed in 1996 came with the SPP-3 manual.

Parts are still available from Dick Niccum at Lighting Images Technology.

Thanks Aaron..... Are you saying the SPP brains aren't removeable??

Nope, Not removeable... They are screwed in with two screws.
