Whodunnit spinning roulette wheel
« on: September 26, 2010, 10:08:03 PM »
OK - extrapolating from RobM's method on the TOM Tiger Saw, by horizontalizing its perpendicularity, I have succeeded in making a spinning roulette wheel on my Whodunnit?
To quote Doc Emmet Brown "Great Scott - it works - it works!"
I don't have video capability, so here's a list of parts followed by progress pics.
In this application the spinner motor is wired to the central standup target riser motor.
The whole deal cost me $6.50 for the roulette set at a local market.

* Computer fan motor as per Rob's thread.
* Roulette wheel 160mm overall dia.
* 3 @ 1" x #6 rnd hd machine screws
* 3 @ #6 nylocs.
* Some washers t/suit
* 3 @ spacers about 3/4" depending on motor. Made mine from rigid retic jet risers - perfect dia.

Looks great Max!
Just the right size    @@*

Do you have any pics of where you wired it into?

Great stuff. Glad to see the idea got extrapolated further. It's so much fun doing this sort of stuff and doing it so cheap is a bonus
