Does anyone know where I can find a low speed motor to make a fly turner. (AC or battery operated) Not having much luck searching for them myself. I know that you can use rotissere motors but was looking for something lighter and hopefully less expensive. If you can recommend a particular motor that would be great too. Any help appreciated.
did a google, came up with this place

I was lucky and a friend gave me an electric motor that is 1 RPM. I just used this florist material for a wheel, but it works fine. I just took a strap the I had and mounted it to the 2 X 4. This motor only has a chord that is about 2' long so I don't know it's actual purpose. However I don't know where to get one. Sorry.

If you or someone you know has a microwave that needs replacing. The turntable motors are approx. 3 rpm.

A bbq rotisserie motor will work as well. Checkout yard sales for one.
Cabelas has a nice motor for $25. I've been using one 20 yrs now and still going strong. It is easy to make your own stand and put packing foam block on it.

I've been looking for an old rotissery for about a year now at garage sales. Never found one.
I install appliances and replace microwaves all the time, never even thought about taking it apart and using the turntable motor. Thanks for the tip, next one I replace will be disected.
I have a near never ending supply of old microwaves, so if anyone is looking for one and wants to pay the shipping, I'll take a motor out for you and send it on to you. Just PM ME and let me know if you need one.
