CAPSTAN DRIVEN REEL BLOCK
Pictured above are two views of the reel table design that uses the capstan to drive the reels. The pancake motor has been replaced with a set of gears driven by a belt coming off the capstan, which serves as the power for the pendulum assembly. Efficient and cost effective this type of system is found in the lower end Sony models. To go back to REEL BLOCK DESIGNS click here.
