After two years of service my RK Drum motor is struggling to turnover a few pounds now.
Any recommendations for an inexpensive, 110v, geared, 50 RPM, motor with lots of torque.
Thanks for any suggestions,
capttony

I have used Burden Surplus Center https://www.surpluscenter.com/electric.asp?UID=2009061512193413&catname=electric (https://www.surpluscenter.com/electric.asp?UID=2009061512193413&catname=electric) when I didn't want to wait for something to come up on eBay. They usually have a pretty good selection of motors. I have also bought blowers, solenoids, and transformers from them. Nearly all of their stock is new surplus (it is indicated if not), and quite rugged.

Have you tried calling Behmor by any chance?. his customer service what I have seen is awesome, I bet he will sell you one real cheap. It might not be the same thing but I bet it can be configured easily nuff to work.

I purchased a "tritogenia variable speed rotisserie motor" on Amazon about a month ago. It's does a good job on my 4# RK Drum

How many pounds of coffee do you do with the "tritogenia variable speed rotisserie motor"?

While we're talking RK, what are you all doing for airflow/convection in your drum setups.
