Thousands and thousands and thousands of old 45s

Thousands and thousands and thousands of old 45s

This page has mostly to do with the mechanical aspects of the project that acquire the scanned images. My most active efforts lately involve designing an inexpensive PC-controlled servomotor film transport, which is described on my page, Making a Movie Film Transport Mechanism, which is in turn based on my growing CNC machine shop.
