Ping Gunner-DC motors

Andrew, why bother Gunner in California? There are at least a couple of dozen treadmills listed in Craigslist and Want Ad Digest a lot closer to where you are (unless you moved recently), and any (motorized) treadmill offers you a DC motor (usually 3500-5000 rpm) and a speed controller that works with it. $75-$80 and a trip to Saratoga Springs or Vorheesville will get you one according to current advertisments. Patience and visiting your local dump/transfer station/recycling shed will often yield them for free, oddly enough usually working fine.
I personally (you've visited my shop-in-progress) can probably offer you (for what I paid for it surplus) a DC motor which might be a bit on the small side for a lathe, but just fine for a blower, but I can't offer you a controller to go with it, and even through surplus you'll probably find the under $100 treadmills cheaper than getting a motor and controller separately. The controller I can find at Surplus Center is twice the price of a used treadmill, and comes without a motor...

Sorry..didnt get it. Ive still got about about 15 or so NOS tread mill moters, 2.5hp, DC, 110vt.
And yes..Ive got a shit load of air cylinders.
Come on over and take your pick.
