Here is a link.. http://rt-ho.com/tools.html

I have not used it.. so I could be wrong. But it looks like it's using strong magnets to pull on each side of the shaft. I would think you'd adjust the one side out, until the shaft is no longer touching the magnet, and the armature is suspended from the magnetic pull. In theory, it should be the least amount of spin resistance. Looks like he used a soda straw to blow on the armature to spin it up. The heaviest poll will stop on the bottom.. I'm not sure how you go about adjusting the balance from there?

Thanks,
Robbie
