...and here is the final V1 design layout! As you can see, it is much larger than the IC and its board. However, it is all through-hole technology except for the initial division IC. I was considering an SMD version and for other turntables and other cassette deck hall motor designs, that might be necessary. I had a few of these boards made up, and for any turntable or any other device that uses the original Pioneer PD1003 IC, this board will work. All the logic H/L signals fed from the 33/45 Quartz/RC toggles are received and processed the same way. As the PL-630 doesn't have a stroboscope, I haven't populated that part but I do have a provision.
If this was to be used in the CT-F1250, some of the division steps would need to be changed but again, this could be done on a new revision if there is enough interest. My main goal was to just get everything that the PL-630 needed going first, and I've succeeded with that. With the core of that done, any other adjustment for another system or even a fully generic PCB is possible.
The new PCB has two mounting points where the original PCB mounted and one additional one that needs a small hole drilled into the chassis and then tapped, and a standoff fitted.
This took me around 3-6 months to develop and test, so I hope no one minds that I am happy to make this available for a reasonable cost. I'd love to make it publicly available, but at the moment, I have to make ends meet and its not at a stage where it could just be picked up and put into anything with that IC. I'll keep developing it if there is interest and if you'd like one, let me know!
