What bps are you running? If the four rotating pass through the disc and the
two stationary are one either side ( 1 in front&  the other behind) at say 3
o'clock then on a 1800 rpm you will have 120bps. This will suffer from
resonant rise much more than say 240bps, so your timing will need to be spot
on @ 120bps and you will definitely need John's phase controller.

Subject: [TCML] Sync gap setup

Hello,
	I need some help setting up a synchronous rotary gap. I have built
several coils with static gaps. This is the first sync one. Gap is 1800 RPM
motor and four tungsten flying  electrodes, and 2 stationary. Phase is
adjusted by disc position. Have built a larger MMC bank for rotary operation
per a design program. Any help on getting the phase adjusted with simple
tools would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Phil,
Thanks for your reply. The stationary are both on the front side. The motor is the little Oriental brand at 1800 RPM. I don't see a HP rating, but it is listed at 7.5 watts .30 amps. Any suggestion on the proper size cap to use with John's phase controller?
Thanks.
