Nice set-up,  I enjoyed seeing all that in motion.

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.

@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
