Sfrye37 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I got a turn table motor out of a microwave and I want to build a lure drying station. How do I wire this motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Buck Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Use the following info at your own risk. Since that is an AC motor you would need to purchase a new low current AC to AC transformer that goes from 120V to 24V. You can get them at https://www.mcmaster.com/#plug-in-power-supplies/=187575g or here https://www.mcmaster.com/#7708k21/=1875c71 Just remember it will still be alternating current coming out of the transformer so there is still a shock hazard. The rest is up to you, if you want to plug/unplug, use a switch, and so on. Be careful, and don't work on it hot, and wire it so that no one can come into contact with any live parts.

stretcher66 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 have you searched this site for lure drying wheels? i personally use a $10 disco ball motor from ebay here is a link to a recent discussion on this. http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/topic/33265-lure-drying-rpm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfrye37 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Thanks for the reply guys but I ended up burning that motor up. I just wired it and plugged it in the wall. Worked for a minute. I bought a different style motor off eBay since that was 120v 3rpm and built a temporary drying wheel out of some scrap wood. Works great. I'm really getting into this carving baits and if I can just figure out how to get the lip slot straight every time and make the bait run right I will be on a roll.

antonio999us Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hello Sfrey37, That's exactly the same microwave motor that I use in my lure dryer. I went to a electrical shop and pay them for preparing me an special transformer from 220V to 21V. In your case you may have to buy from 110V to 21V. The motor is excellent and it has the right rpm. I have my machine working without any problem for a while, and I can dry up to 12 plugs (5" long each). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriperCandy Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 If you ever need motors, these work great. They're listed 220 V. I run them on 110 voltage just fine. Currently $3.79 each. Insides are metal, not plastic! https://www.ebay.com/itm/222320073394?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Search this site for Lure Rotisserie. Some good pics there.
