A beam of light did pass through as many as 3 LP sized, but very thin optical discs. The modulation was visible to the naked eye and when the disc completed 1 revolution a somewhat distinct ending of the track and subsequent beginning of the track was heard. The machines were build near me in St. Petersburg and I visited the operation numerous times. Mr. Van Koovering was usually on site and delighted to discuss his machine. I even bought a Mellotron tape frame from him.

Anyone here know how this machine worked? Surely this was long before laser
technology as we know it was around or affordable, bearing in mind the
reasonable cost of the machine.
