I agree with Kevin. The motor that Rodgers uses it a mere 8 RPM

I found some very nice small brass bells on Ebay. I also visited some antique
shops and found some nice old
sleigh bells attached to ahorse’s collar. I found I needed to buy more bells
than I will actually use because some turn out to be
cheesy and then
you need to choose atuneful and compatible combination from among the good
ones. On Ebay I searched for clock bells, brass bells, cast bells, etc. Good
bells are out
there, but you have to search patiently.
The turntable ideais interesting but I
would think 45rpm would be way too fast aspeed for aZymbelstern. I made an
adjustable speed platter from asmall 12vdc motor and pulley, an old power
supply, and avariable speed circuit somebody drew up for me. I think being
able to vary the speed is pretty
important.

Friends,
While on the subject. Where can one get
cast bells for a homemade Zymbelstern? The one I made from an old
turntable is using tin bells from a hobby store which sound very cheesy.

What model Rodgers do you
have? I believe that on ALL of them, there is a switched 12VDC circuit
that is designed to fire a relay. So, you'll need to get a 12VDC
relay that can switch on (one leg of) the AC to the "record
player". Is this enough to get you goin'?
If you give me the model number, I can log in to the rodgers tech website and
see what schematics are available for this model. But, like I said, it's
almost a sure thing that it is a 12VDC output.

Hi Mark,
It all hinges on what kind of motor you are going to use. AC or DC?
You definitely want to find a small, quiet, low RPM unit...
I have made many of these for use on Rodgers organs (and others). So, let
me know when you decide on a motor and I'll help you with a circuit that will
work with it.
Best regards,
Jerry Akers

Greetings
All
I want
to add a zymbelstern to my Rodgers that is already setup for
it. Just for fun I thought
I would try to build one. I
have the best platform for it. Does
anyone know where I might acquire a schematic diagram for one? I’ve spent
hours on the internet
with no luck.
Thanks
