Wow. Thats exatcly what it is. The link lefty posted looks exactly like it.
Does anyone have a use for it? I doubt i'll ever use it.
Hmm... it looks like it might be a good replacement for my trombone robot motor, although I have a few questions:
How loud is it?
Is yours all motor and gears - no battery in the hand-held part, right?
Any guesses as to free-spinning torque or RPM?
For the curious, I've been looking around for a motor/gear combination that would be more suitable to the specs for the trombone robot: about 500rpm, a good amount of torque (somewhere close to 1Nm, although I'm starting to think even that might be gratuitous), and as quiet as possible.
The best idea (Andy's thing excepted) I've come up with so far is pairing a motor (like one from the "mega motor mart": **broken link removed**) with the approximately 5:1 gears from a cheap fishing rod. I recently took apart a fishing rod to see if it might work, and I'm optimistic although I'm not sure how to connect the motor to the spinning part of the reel. I'm not much of an angler, but at least I know it's a gearing solution that was designed to run quietly!
Let me know if anyone has any advice or ideas, or just wants to see the insides of a fishing rod without doing it themselves, and I'll post some photos.
