controller, since it uses an AC motor. If you spend
time looking for an
SA801 with an intact spindle motor controller, you'll be looking for a
very long time.
I have this crazy idea to make a crystal-controllerd oscillator to drive the
spindle motor (much on the lines that Philip (?) suggested, a pseudo-sine
wave oscillator driving a power amplifier and step-up transformer) just
so I can say I have an SA801 with a spindle motor controller :-)
