Thanks in advance.

Thank you so very much for all the input concerning the elec vs treadle =
wheel. Lots of good insight and when I read them to my husband he is =
going to say, "I told you so".

If anyone has a Brent electric wheel, could you please look at the motor =
and send me an email with the information that is on the motor??????? =
It may say dc motor or 10 A or 10 amps, or 110V, HP or whatever else. =
I'm trying to find a similar motor for less money and I need the =
statistics off of a real Brent motor.=20

I'm going to make the table myself, save $300 and buy the parts, put it =
all together... not difficult. I talked to a guy named Ed at Continental =
Clay, very helpful! He suggested getting the info off the Brent motor =
and seeing what I could come up with in town here.

Thanks,
Ilene

Hello,

I just bought a used Brent CXCK. It needs the
replacement parts for the controls in the pedal. I
called the company and the parts are around $50. Does
anyone know of a place to get them cheaper?

Please contact me off the list at
divadarnieann@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Darnie

Lets see $1200.00 plus wheel, parts $50.00. Just how much cheaper were you thinking?

On the second time round this caught my eye
<the controls in the pedal. I called the company and the parts are around =
$50. Does anyone know of a place to get them cheaper?>>

Twenty five years or so ago before they became popular wanted to get a =
Dremel style tool. I found a supplier of Dental equipment and was =
offered a hand piece for about $80. To my remark that this seemed =
expensive the vendor pointed out that the profits from a day filling =
teeth would pay for the tool.

If you think of the profit from a dozen or so mugs or whatever a day's =
wheel production would be, $50 for maintenance seems like money well =
spent. Snap it up and save time searching for that elusive "good =
bargain".

Best regards,
