[sdiy] Hammond Vibrato Scanner

[anthony]

I've been thinking about doing things like an electromechanical sequencer 
(an electroOPTICALmehcnical sequencer...) and such myself. I have a couple 
of Hammond organs I could buy that are almost beyond restoration.

Doesn't the synchronous motor drive the scanner? What IS a synchrinous motor 
anyway?
