Hi all,
I'm a newbie here! . . .
I'm getting back to pottery after a long break . . . I have an old Craftool Pottery wheel that would work great, if it wasn't for a broken foot pedal. The broken part was very fragile and cannot be repaired.
It's possible that a foot pedal from another wheel would work . . . hubby is an electrical engineer who can fix most things.
What he tells me is that I need a DC electronic speed control that works with a 10 amp load. Motor is 3/4 HP. There are three wires coming from the pedal - one to the switch/fuse (black).
If anyone has a foot pedal that may work, please let me know.
Thanks,
Rogene

You should contact Tom Forte at Thomas Stuart Wheels. His old design
used a 3 wire rheostat (slider assembly) which might work, but I am
unsure of the load rating. I seem to remember it was pretty high. You
can e-mail Tom at forte@mho.net Best of luck!
