I think we're looking for a stubbier version of this-
Something that does the same job in a lower profile turntable maybe?

I thought I read they came from a Mitchell turntable? Vintage of course. Last I saw Elvistrooper had a site where he makes and sells them
Transcrptorsltd is Michell Turntables
The link i posted does not show a fan made disc. It shows a real turntable part. ;-)

Anyone know the difference between the 60z pulley and the 50z pulley?
They have separate listings for each, but use the same photo.
Hi Chris. 60hz is smaller as it spins faster.
The Etsy sale is listed as "replacement". These are modern parts machined to similar specs - although side by side with my vintage ones I can tell them apart.

Which size is correct then?
I have a vintage one and some from Kenny. How do these newly made Transcriptor parts compare?
I was thinking of getting a couple.
The new ones are good if you're not fussy about vintage. Very minor differences in step height, more shiny finish, and a slight taper to the hole.
As for what size is correct, I believe both are used. I see 50hz on everything other than the Merr Sonn where it needs to match the size of the rear disc.

I didn't even connect that Mer Sonn part with this part! I'm glad I sold my replica to redo this gun.
The Merr-Sonn was the first thing that popped to mind when I saw there was a smaller size than the "standard" I've gotten used to. That eases a lingering boggle for me. I quickly discovered the movie-accurate 1" pulley was too big for the blaster. Since the other resin castings they made had no/minimal shrinkage, it struck me as unlikely they'd made a cast of the pulley out of a different material that would shrink so much. Never occurred to me there might be different size pulleys. Very definitely yoinked.
