  • Notes
  • Jason 3-Speed Gramophone Motor

    A motor designed to suit the most critical taste at a reasonable cost. The cast aluminium is separately machined and is fitted with a hardened steel shaft turning on a steel thrust ball in a well bearing.
    The weight of the turntable ensures freedom from rumble and wow.
    The speed selector for 78, 45, and 33⅓  consists of an accurate rubber tyred idle wheel which engages a three-step motor pulley. When the motor is out of use, the idler wheel is withdrawn from the motor pulley and turntable to prevent deformation of the rubber, thus preventing the appearance of flat spots. A small variation allows the motor to be set to exact speed irrespective of mains voltage or frequency fluctuations. The whole unit is mounted on a sturdy cast base and is finished in a stove enamel

    All parts are available separately. 

    Priced at £12/10/6 in 1953.
