Please don't laugh, but I stick a small piece of paper under the edge of the
cylinder on the mandrel

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on replacing frozen mandrel bearings
and cylinder speed testers! I am ordering the one Norman sent me the link to
from Ebay. I saw the one you have to Steve--thanks!
As to the bearing, I think I am going to knock off the mandrel and take it from
Hello everyone,
Sometime about a year ago, there was discussion on phono-l about a way to test
cylinder speed using an electronic instrument that could be cheaply found on
ebay. Anyone remember what this was? I meant to buy one at the time, but lost

Hi Mike,
You are certainly thinking of a laser techometer. These have become so

With those Damn Curly Cue light bulbs, strobes dont work any more.

So Steve how do the timing marks on the back rod compare to the laser?
