A VERY cool idea, but no I don't have an old washer anymore. (I DID though, not too long ago... Darn bad timing!)
The local motor places are asking a couple of hundred for a new one, and the current budget is shot buying robot parts over the last few weeks.
With the number of people here, I thought it was worth a shot asking... I was hoping SOMEONE might HAVE one, just laying around.
Well, is there anyone out there near me with a defunct washer, dryer, furnace, dish washer, house fan, garage door opener (etc) with the right motor??? I'll bring the dissection tools, and help you dispose of the carcass...
