In this shot, the turntable has been place
face side up. I have placed the bottom plate and vertical band from my
own unfinished radar on top of the radar to illustrated how everything
fits together. The machined spinner post depicted in the photograph was
made using the dimensions provided in Dave Painter's blueprints.
For my own radar, holes will be drilled into the
vertical band to receive the peg of the machined spinner posts. The peg
will have threads cut into it so that the spinner post can be held tightly
and securely in place by a hidden nut on the inside of the radar. This
is an ingenious concept invented by my brilliant machinist.
