Hall element and Pioneer

In early days this element was expensive and its performance was unsteady so that its use was limited (not used in commercial applications).
In 1969 Pioneer succeeded in mass production of this element by evaporation method in a vacuum. Pioneer Precision Machinery Corp, as well as other makers continue to produce.

DD motors driven by DC usually use two elements as rotor position detecting sensors. Technics is using magnetic sensor (coil) instead of these element. Hall elements are seen in other makes of turntables such as Kenwood-Trio/Aiwa etc. But both motor form and construction are different to each other and no turntable maker as far as I know uses the Pioneer method now.

Thanks for the info Doc, all i know is Pioneer, Victorn(JVC) and others uses them in their top end kit.

Enjoy ''Dim Sum'', it is nearly lunch time there, do they have them in Taipei?.

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Its coming up for 2.30pm. Taiwan is three cultures. Original like Phillipines, later Fujian which has very good food tradition but no dim sum, Nationalist from the many that came across with Chiang Kai Shek, which was Northern (Beijing), stodgy bloody awful food. I would have to find a Cantonese (Guangdong) Restaurant. I am sure there are some here, but my aim is to leave lots of food room for Shinlin Night Market this evening, very much a Taipei tradition.

Spot on, but it's understandable as weather is really cold in that region,
so stodgy food is called for to fill your belly to battle the harsh environment, not my cup of Cha i must say.

P.S. impressed with your travels, i've only ever been to Hong Kong.

Opps... sorry Jamie, back on thread.
