OK, Now I've REALLY made an -at-$$ out of myself. But I will make up for it at 
the end. 

I was still in awe about how my dang motor wouldn't work... I saw terry's 
pictures on hot-streamer of the disk he used on his sync motor. So I got on 
the computer and Made a disk very similar. Taped it on, and took it into the 
bathroom (the only room in our house with no windows) which happens to have 
fluorescent lighting. I plugged it in, and immediately saw the four distinct 
shadows. Turned it off then on and it stayed in the same position. It worked 
the same with the other light I was using. Now I feel really stupid. 
The good side? I know the problem. The half black, half white disk doesn't 
work. So I will upload the picture of this perfect disk to 

hot-streamer-dot-com/jonathon/motors/RSGdisk.jpg 

as soon as hot-streamer-dot-com recovers*. 


I hope we all learned a lesson, that those half, B&W disks do not work well 
for inexperienced "sync'rs" who may have trouble with them. 

The other good side is, that Terry won't have to pay to ship it there and 
back, or screw with it at all. 

My story sounds a lot like that other person, Josh is it? 
We both had the same problem. :-D 

I want to thank you all for putting up with me, and my dumbness. And 
hopefully I wont get razzed to bad.

PS, I checked it again with the RPM meter, and it still said 1725 RPM, so 
that's the last time I trust that son of a gun....

fix it. - Terry
