[QuadList] ID--ACR-25 carousel encoder disc

Thu Feb 25 14:56:58 CST 2010

Hi Wayne,

I would have awarded you a gold medal if you wrote Part Number 1370713-030 which is the number on the box.  Good try.  How did you come by it?? Was it a spare or out of a machine?  You make me feel bad about that HS100 disk made into a clock.  I have an old Western Union clock which Western Union never came to pick up from the transmitter in the Empire State Bldg.  I put a quartz movement in it and it has been in the ham shack for years.

The disk was made by "Dynamics Research Corp." Wilmington, Mass. on Sep 6, 84.  Job # 4139, I don't remember the cost, but I think I remember it being about the price of a luxury car at that time.

DE,

George Keller

May I please also win a hot dog if I tell you it is Ampex part # 1370713-03??
I have one and a cassette; those are the only items saved from my ACR-25 days.
I also have a HS-100 disc I turned into a clock but that may start another thread.

Hi, George,

If you scan it at a really high resolution, you can have a very large print made and have that framed.  Less risk to the encoder disc, more of it to enjoy.  Maybe we can get MOMA in Manhattan to hang it somewhere.

The MWA Nova telecine equipment I sell uses similar encoders on various moving parts.

Cool item, and thanks for posting it.

CONGRATULATIONS HAROLD!!  YOUR CORRECT ANSWER WAS THE FIRST ONE RECEIVED HERE.

YOU HAVE WON A FREE HOT DOG AT THE "TEXAS WEINER" HERE IN PORT JERVIS, NY, (IF THEY EVER SHOVEL IT OUT). YOU MUST BE HERE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE BY 4:00PM EST TODAY. (BY THE WAY, EVEN THE TRAINS AREN'T RUNNING).

There were many correct answers, but Harold's was the earliest.

It is the carrousel encoder disc from the ACR-25.  It is about the only "Relec" saved from the dumpster of the 6 ACR's at CBS. It is such a work or art, I couldn't let it go, it was a spare. It is still in it's original wooden box. There were about 3 or 4 of them replaced over the years.  I just scanned it and it came out OK.  I would like to frame it, but can't find a reliable framer around here that I would trust to do the job.

Looks like the optical encoder wheel from an ACR-25
