Does anyone know where I can obtain a drying motor that runs about 30-40 rpm. I have seen the name Allelectric on the message board several times, but they do not come up under the www.allelectric.com. Thanks for any help.

p.s. where on the cape are you from?

hey got my 30 rpm 110v motor from mudhole tackle its a pac bay replacement for 12.00 bucks cant beat that mines already got a ton of hours on it seems to be a good motor.

Hi Sanford,

I use old bar-b-que spit motors for drying. Years ago all the
grills had a spit above the grill with the motor, but nobody used
the thing! You can find them in garage sales, flea markets or
one of your friends probably has one in his garage somewhere.
I remove the outer case from the motor and mount it on a support
at the height I want(it can be adjustable by routing a slot in the support
so you can move it up or down.) I put a toggle switch on the mount,
but that is not necessary as it comes with a cord and can just be plugged in. I take a piece of PVC, tap it for thumbscrews and epoxy
a 3" piece of square steel stock to fit the spit motor to the back of the PVC. Mine was made by a buddy from the post cover on highway
signs-it is heavier than needed but works fine. The spit motor turns
at appx. 5 RPM which is just right for finishing and also gives you time
to check for bubbles or depressions. I use Flex-Coat for a final
finish and it takes about two hours to begin to set up, then I put
the rod in the bathroom(warmest room in the house) and let it cure
overnight.
