This is for all you tinkerers out there ( hint Al ) but I'm looking at finding a synchronous motor at 110v running at 1 rpm appx. I can order one but it wont get here til end of april and i need one before then. And from china no less, its like nothing is stocked anymore. Help. So unlike me.

Robbie, yes i could gear a faster motor down but to 1 rpm would take a serious reduction. The motors are available and really inexpensive ( appx 10$ ) but long delivery times...i found one in the states online but they only ship within the US, so i guess its time to head to ogdensburg...again...sigh

How big a motor do you need, could an egg turner motor or barbecue turner motor work?
Hee hee You're going to have to spill the beans on what you are building
inquiring minds want to know!

also iv used them out off bbq rotisseries with a higher rpm... it dosent make any difference really as long as the eggs get that movement every 6 hours or so.
