Actually, now that you mention it, Mike (Rotator), who was a stellar Detroit Drum and Bass DJ, used nearly the same trick: two spools of thread, two pencils, and the weight flip/etc...'cept he also put a rubber band around the two spindles and would make one motor run both decks for speed synch. Brilliant. 1996. He's no longer in the game.
