I had been very down over the last week because I was looking at Motors. A single phase 3/4 HP electric motor is running anywhere from 159.00 to 289.00. That's way outside my budget for this plucker. I didn't know what I was going to do. Fortunately, I am married to a genius!
Last year our A/C broke down and we had to replace the fan and motor. The fan was in shards, but the motor appears to still work. At least my husband got it to working last night. So now I have a motor and the plucker project can continue.
We made great progress on it over the last week. I say "We", but Roger and the boys have done most of the hard work. Pulling those fingers through the body and the featherplate are a booger! I still have to order some more fingers, but we should be closing in. It's a good thing too. One of our friends is ready for it to make it's debut.
