I had to save this old drum scanner from the scrap. It's got too many nice useable bits to waste so...
What can I , or you - if you want it, do with it?
To explain. The film drum was placed between centres of the carriage, light sources form inside or outside illuminated a pixel. As the drum was rotated by the motor and encoder on the left the light was analysed by a the three colour sensors in the camera box (scanner 3) . The whole carriage is shifted right, on 19mm supported linear rails by another stepping motor with encoder
The camera box has a focus motor and orifice disc on another motor.
My first thought was coil winder , especially large Tesla type coils .
Thoughts ?
