A while back I came across this inside a old LP. Out of curiosity I thought I would try it out. Well to my surprise and holding a light close to its rotation on the turntable, it actually worked at 45 and 33 and a third. The segments did appear to stop, so the turntable is running at the correct speed . neat eh!

I would imagine the lamp would have to be (for example) a fluorescent rather than an incandescent: incandescents don't flash.
An LED lamp...should work, depending on how the lamp is powered. There's a lot more going on in there than just a lightbulb.
Correction!
-an LED lamp is powered by an AC-DC power supply, so the light should be too steady to be used as a strobe.Last edited by Steve Klare; March 28, 2022, 11:52 AM.

The Power of Media!
.
I got a little bored today, so I decided to wake the cats up!
I found a YouTube video with a cat growling. Immediately they showed up. The first order of business was to stare at each other incredulously. You could almost see the beginnings of some kind of logic operating: "-but if it isn't YOUUU...?"
From there on, it was just stunned silence: their intruder alert had been triggered, but they just couldn't locate the invader!
I turned off the growl and fed them, after all, even Pavlov fed his dogs eventually!

Hi Rodney
Yvonne camera is a Panasonic Lumex Model No DC-FZ80. I bought it for her after accidently dropping her smaller digital camera. I thought I would get something a bit better although its a still camera you can record 4K video with it as well. I am certainly extra careful these days not to drop this one

This old photo popped up on my Facebook page the other day. Its really hard to take in, that I took it back in 1986-87 for one of the guys in it, as he was leaving, so I did volunteer to take it. The person with the red collar on the left looking directly at the photo, was a chap called Terry Caldwell known as TC. I was on his shift for 10 years, after the place closed I went to work for Ansett. I remember one of the shift charge hands at Ansett, asking me about my past at Mt Cook, he was shocked to find I had worked for TC for ten years, he said he once worked with him and after 6 months working for TC he had a enough and left for Ansett, how did I survive 10 years he asked? . TC was a bit of a Captain Bligh that's for sure, but was always fair in sharing the good and not so good jobs around. He later went onto be one of the big bosses at Air New Zealand.
Its strange looking at all those faces and wondering what happened to most, that's the great thing about film, is recording that "specific moment" in time that will never be again.
