Who are you people anyway?
@jcamero -
How did you convert the 120vAC to 12vDC? Did you follow a schematic for the electrical portion of the build? Also, did you use a capacitor in parallel?
I'm taking my time with this project and want to think it through. Thanks for answering my questions when you have the time.
I just bought a wall wart that was what I needed to cut the rpm's. At 24 volt DC, it spins at 45 rpms, 1/2, (12 volt) 22-1/2 rpm. I don't feel it's fast. The motor is noisy, but that does not bother me, plus it's strong enough when I apply light pressure to clean my albums, it does not bog down. As far as a schematic, the only one I used was used was the one that came with the momentary switch. I wired the motor through she switch so I could reverse the direction of the motor/platter. I posted a thread showing my build. If I can locate it, I will edit this and attach it.
