Title: Roaster down! RKdrum motor shot, is there a cheap heavy duty replacement?
Post by: capttony on June 15, 2009, 09:36:07 AM

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.
