Neat circuit! BTW - I just discovered your channel and I love it! I was born in 65 and I'm super into games, everything from the 60's through the Switch. The imagination used to make the old arcade games is amazing. That you for posting all of these awesome videos.
Neat. Why doesn't the timer shut the motor off immediately? Does this have to do with the trigger capacitor value being chosen so that the motor can spin up first?
The values of the timing components were chosen so that motor power is not cut off until there is a significant slow down in motor speed or a motor dead-stop condition. If I shut off the motor immediately, then it would not develop enough torque to operate the window crank mechanism as this is a mechanical assembly with friction and mechanical resistance that can vary from window to window. So component selection is a balancing act between "wait long enough" to power through minor slow-downs, and "shut power off" when the window has reached its end of travel and starts to bind the motor.

Thank you sir! Have a great day.
Appreciate the upload. Your game room is epic! Do you have a SEGA Airlines cockpit?
Hi Mr. Punk! Thanks for the compliment. Sorry, don't have that game.
