Thanks INI. Great input. I had communicated with the gentleman who makes the Mriya last year and he indicated he thought his belcrank unit came originally from Japan [months later, I actually stumbled across it on an obscure Japanese website]. He frankly said it was not an "ideal solution". I later built my own from CF along with CF pushrods and BB links, it worked well but in retrospect, it just seems ridiculous now that servos like the MKS 69HV have come along. It's interesting that Lassi prefers it's "easiness of setup and amount [lack] of maintenance, seems to be opposite of what I would think but I'm not at his level. Good information none the less. Still would be interested in any insight into the doings of Mr. Bruckmann in this area. He is one impressive modeler for sure.
