Ach, missed it again - thanks for the video files, Kane, its the only way Im catching it. And I *really* want to see the ghetto blaster again, it was a work of considerable genius. Absolutely gutting that it went flat between set-up and performance. :sad: -- Did we ever work out what happened, there?
Hi Jonathan - I believe it happened where we had removed the galvanised coating or something from the spoke and it rusted over night in the dampness - changing the resistance and therefore the note - Id got them all to within a hertz the night before!

Did we not re-calibrate it on the day ? I honestly cant remember now but I do have a vauge memory of somone using a scope for somthing.
Should have used the multiplyier fishing reel instead of the fixed spool, that has a better gear ratio and would have given more power to pull the toaster smoothly.
Either that or we complain to the microwave manufacturer for using such pathetic little motors to drive the turntables. A bosch GPA 750 would be a far better alternative.
yeah well blame it on the microwave
