They are not set in concrete, just an experiment for now but I will keep you updated. Its all about whether I can make some polygon and drum mirrors good enough. It certainly is a fun challenge. One thing that inspires me is I have not seen a good working Scophony replica. Maybe I missed it but that's good motivation for me. !938 style.

I was wondering how it was going excellent idea Keith ,it is some thing that is a very much a challenge in the higher end of mechanical television ,60 lines is very doable and much easier with the mirror drums you are using ...as i recall True Scophony is a touch different Keith or there was more than one version i will have refresh of my memory and have a look what i have on file or i have posted up in the past and let you know ,i will do a search .

Here's some stuff on file i have found so far .
As you see in the first link below its not as easy as a 2 mirror drum system it also use's a beam converter so apart from that and as Gary mentioned on the light modulating system used its hard to call any thing that uses a mirror drum a Scophony system as it was pretty unique.
Don't let that put you off on your 2 drum system its just another way to our hobby ,a laser and 2 drums you can do many line rate and frame rates ...only limited to the drum speeds..so 60 lines is just one it could do it could do all the lower nbtv rates and higher is up to you if you if want to experiment with it ...a pulley system on the line mirror drum so as to increase the rotation with a larger pulley wheel on the motor shaft to a smaller on the line mirror drum you could triple say its speed so on so really push it and make up for lack of mirror faces for a high line system and slower motor ..just keep in mind its multi system not just limited to one line rate even to what you have in plan.

No worries Harry. I did post it earlier here http://www.taswegian.com/NBTV/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2654&p=24256#p24256

Carter gets back around the end of the month and we can get to work on the next stage being the large drum mirror. Most of the cad for the drum is done so we need to cut and assemble it next. Hopefully it runs fairly true,
