Still looking for a comprehensive guide on the net on building a multi rod turner as the microwave motor I have is 21V AC and really don't fancy trial and error with component purchases.
Then I remembered that I've a Stonefly Turner & set about fixing this into the upright of my rod wrapper. The upright is too thick for an easy mount of the motor and switch so decided to fix the turner to a plinth and use it on the track of the wrapper.
Oh dear, I dropped it while doing 2 jobs at once and pulled one wire out of the motor & damaged the other.
furious with myself!
So I set about replacing the two wires to the motor and switch also I decided to fit a 9V battery instead of the 4 x 1.5V ones. I soldered crocodile clips on at the battery tails so that motor direction could be changed for any reason(not instantaneously obviously).
The original rest was used and 2 spacers were made along withg the plinth for height adjustments.
I'm thinking of epoxying 2 sections at a time - leaving the second section in the turner and turning the first by hand.
