Vinylium VC200 dummy motor HELP

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Vinylium VC200 dummy motor HELP

I have a modified VC200(red faceplate) and need to make a dummy motor for it to get it going. I don't have the Vinylium overhead. I know to make it is just a couple resistors and maybe a capacitor and I'm not sure where it would be hook up to inside the VC200. Any help would be appreciated.

THANKS
Jason

yes simple
between pin 1 and 14 on the db25 connector. beep that out down to the kingkong (controller board of vc200. the one behind frontplate) there is a 4 pin connector.
on the 4pin connector
it between Pin3 and Pin4
Pin1 is Endswitch
Pin2 is GND
Pin3 Motor+ VMotor PWM Signal
Pin4 Motor -

you need
470 ohm resistor
470uF-1000uF Cap 25- 35V
22 ohm 1W Resistor

so between pin 1 and pin 14 there is a 470 resistor // 470-1000uF Elko Minus of elko faces Pin 1 and that goes over a 22 ohm resistor to Pin 14.

Flozki, that worked great, thanks for your help, I did have a few troubles at first because my db connector doesn't go directly in the vc200 like others, mine has seperate xlr hookups for the feedback and seperate amp, but finding the 4-position plug on the front board got me to where I needed to be, and seems to be working how it should. I was hoping you could help me out with identifying a couple other hookups on the vc200 that I know I don't need for my setup but I'm not sure what there for, above one of them it says "head x out" and the other doesn't say anything but is also hooked up to the main board, I'll take a couple pictures in the next day or two so you can see what I'm seeing.
Thanks again for the help
Jason
