Note: the mirror top turntables come with the mirror glued on – it cannot be removed. If you want to switch between mirrored and non-mirrored, you will need to buy a non-mirrored stand and one of the separate mirrors.
Note: All mirrors and mirror tops come with a protective plastic skin coating which needs to be removed if you want the full mirrored effect.
Note: If using the AC Adapter transformer, remove the battery from the battery compartment.
Description and specifications
Our 2 speed rotating turntables are made entirely of plastic with soft fuzzy material on the turntable surface. The round platform lifts off revealing the motorized base, gears, and battery compartment as shown below. All three sizes of the turntables share the same motorized base, only the round top platform is different. You could paint or cover the platform with other material or add one of our quality acrylic mirror tops. All units use a standard “D” 1.5 volt battery. A small switch near the bottom of the base turns the unit on and off. The large white gear can be moved to the nearby post to change the speed from 4 RPM to 7 RPM.
How Fast do these rotate?
Slow Speed = about 4 revolutions per minute.
Fast Speed = about 7 revolutions per minute.
How long will they run on one battery?
A long time, generally for at least 48 hours without stopping if you use a new “D” battery.
How much weight can they handle?
All sizes of the turntables should handle up to 8 pounds without straining. However, heavy objects will have an affect on battery life and motor life. We loaded one up with 13 pounds of books and it worked, but the motor sounded like it was laboring. Also, extra weight does slow the units slightly. For best results use these turntables for objects that weigh less than 8 pounds.
There are hundreds of uses for these inexpensive turntables. We sell them to hobbyists, collectors, stores, show vendors, jewelry makers and stores, hobby shops, artists, and many others. Vendors who attend swap meets and flea markets find they can sell these to other show vendors.
