I wonder how hard it would be to create a spin table from scratch (given compatible

tracks are wide enough that you can get away with fixed radial positioning. If you need
to follow a servo track in real time during rotation, it gets harder. The fixed
positioning would certainly apply to RP03, RK05, 1311, and the like.

You?re going to need an RP03, or a spin table.
Does anyone know of any extant 3330 era spin tables with heads?
