You only need a standard disk with 32 holes the 1.5 disk is for building the combined monitor/ camera in order to keep the picture the right way round.

Per the Handbook Chapter III, I'll need:
1. Wooden base - I'll build when the parts arrive.
2. A pre-drilled disc (available from the club shop)
3. Cassette motor (available from the club shop)
4. 12 Volt Power Supply (already have this)
5. Motor drive electronics (I assume this is a club PCB)
6. LED cluster as a light source (I'll use the Handbook guide)
7. A not too small magnifying glass (already have)
8. LED drive electronics (I assume this is a club PCB)
So I'll order the 12" 1.5 turn spiral disc, the cassette motor, the gears wheels, the motor and LED PCB's from the Club shop as listed on p2 of the newsletter. I don't know what the gear wheels are for, but I assume I'll need them. I'm also assuming the motor comes with some type of hub on which to mount the disc.
If anyone sees something I should add to the club shop order, please let me know.
As I don't have an email address for V.R.Brown, I'll use the post to mail him to find the total of the order including postage, wait for the reply, then mail my payment and await arrival.
Thanks all.

The discs currently available have a hole in the centre the same size as the motor shaft, so again the gear can be used. People use 'Evostick' glue to fix them to the plastic disc.
