Loud Motors...need quieter...

Pages: << < (2/5) > >>

JCL:

You can use a floppy motor with the floppy circuit if you can rig up a pulse generator (555 timer circuit). This will run slow and strong, and with the gearing you probably already have, smoothly.

Should be much quieter than a geared DC motor.

That's exactly what I have!  A geared motor! 

I really like the Tape deck idea, but I don't really know how I'd set up either the floppy or the tape drive.

any ideas on that....?

Go with the tape player motor, floppy motors are stepper motors and require a driver.
Just run down to the local good will store, they should have something with a tape deck.

I cant help you with your motor problem , but all the jukeboxes in my town have one cd spinning at the top with 2 mirrors placed in that area to give the illusion.
