<TD vAlign=top>I knew I had seen this disc before at least once!<br>
<br>
I was at a trade show, where we were showing a ACR-25 and they had carousel problems and it was traced to a crack in that disc. <br>
<br>
It was solid, but cracked and the IR reader was alsso reading the crack in error!<br>
<br>
The design engineers had an impromtue contest to see who could modify the reader circuits with the least components to ignore the crack.<br>
<br>
I believe it was Gerry Engbertson who won the drinks with a single cap in the right place that changed the reader into requiring the larger real pulses.<br>
<br>
This was great to see great engineers, create a solution to a real problem.<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you scan it at a really high resolution, you can have a very large print made and have that framed. Less risk to the encoder disc, more of it to enjoy. Maybe we can get MOMA in Manhattan to hang it somewhere.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The MWA Nova telecine equipment I sell uses similar encoders on various moving parts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cool item, and thanks for posting it. </div>

<div>It is the carrousel encoder disc from the ACR-25. It is about the only "Relec" saved from the dumpster of the 6 ACR's at CBS. It is such a work or art, I couldn't let it go, it was a spare. It is still in it's original wooden box. There were about 3 or 4 of them replaced over the years. I just scanned it and it came out OK. I would like to frame it, but can't find a reliable framer around here that I would trust to do the job.</div>
