@RichSteamTx  You also have a round base B-34? That would be number 3 that I know of.

Hi @Nick - here are the three that I have.  The round one is like yours but has two white spoked wheels.

I think the extra pulley on mine is a replacement, doesn’t match the others. It should be like yours with two white pulleys

Great setup Nick - thanks for showing that I am missing a variation variable speed unit LOL!  Though I do have the one with the two white wheels - its cool but kind of sucks in operation - compared to the others.

I am missing this one too!  ???
Which one are you missing, I hope it isn't the same as me ... if so back of man!  LOL ;-)

Liked the set-up, but it is really too bad that your sons are so camera shy!!!    ;c)

I’m using them for the youtube views 😂
