    Description

    AC motor
    Deluxe, Heavy Duty
    A.C. ELECTRIC PLUG-IN 3 R.PM
    .
    MIRROR BALL MOTOR
    For Disco Balls, mobiles etc.
    Or as a general all-purpose
    Ceiling Turner
    For home window displays, trade shows, DJ's, etc., ad infinitum
    This is a  basic, time-tested and highly reliable ceiling mount mirror ball motor
    .
    It's not always a consideration, but it may be important to you: these are
    quiet
    .
    A motor we used to sell (and discontinued years ago) had an annoying hum; others also created a distracting gear noise.
    But, not this one, which is why we've stuck with it ever since despite the higher cost.
    The engineering and construction of this unit is rock solid, and provides reliable turning power/torque
    for objects up to about 6 or 7 pounds
    , or roughly what a typical 16 inch Disco Ball weighs in at.
    Picture at left:
    Thia gives some perspective, in relation to a typical 8 inch Mirror Ball.
    Past buyers have found  myriads of objects to suspend underneath.
    Historical uses based on buyer feedback
    :
    Crystals of all kinds
    Advertising displays
    Art objects
    Store sale signs
    Window displays
    Disco Balls
    Christmas, Halloween and Easter decorations
    School displays
    Science fair exhibits
    Etc ad infinitum.
    Picture Left :
    Comes with a thick, heavy cord and 3-prong plug.
    If needed, you can pick up a 3 prong to 2 prong adaptor at any hardware store (about a dollar).
    Rotation rate
    : a leisurely 3 RPM.
    Generally, most AC motors I've seen in this category turn at a dizzying
    5 RPM, but this little gem turns at a circumspect
    3 r.p.m.
    , which you'll find much more visually appealing than (in our opinion) a much-too-fast motor doing 5 RPM.
    3 RPM is just the right turning rate for 99% of possible applications.
    Picture at left
    :
    Pre-drilled mounting holes make for easy installation.
    The cord is a modest
    2.5 ft
    , so you'll want to add an extension cord (unless there just to be a ceiling mounted socket nearby).
    And, last but not least, it comes with an
    'S' hook
    for hanging your item
    , so you'll be up and running in no time.
    Size
    :
    4.25 inches diameter, and about 1.5 inches thick
    Power consumption
    :
    zilch (where zilch = about
    4 watts
    . Not much more than a night light).
    Note that this is
    110v US current
    , so it'll work fine in the U.S. and Canada.
    However, if your country uses 230v or 240v, you'll need a voltage converter from 230v to 110v, available in any electronics or travel store. Consult an electrician to be certain you're getting the right one.

    Items usually fly out of here straightaway, and with great fanfare
    (fireworks, marching band, dancing girls, that sort of thing)
    So your friendly mailman show be ringing you doorbell soon after.
    Buyer Quote
    :
    “Tell the truth-it was in the mail BEFORE I ordered, right ?”
    Or…
    “Seller employs delivery methods years ahead of our time”
    Plus…
    “Dude, the quickness of your response borders on scary, but I certainly appreciate it.”
    And this, just in
    :
    “Can’t believe this. Immediately after I hit the ‘pay now’ button,
    my doorbell rang. The package was at the door. Go figure.”

    We were sponsoring the weather that day.
    Usually orders zoom out of Mission Control here either same or next day as
    receipt of payment (before about 3 p.m. PST usually makes it out that day).
    California residents
    expect to add sales tax at checkout for the gods of commerce here.
    Our elected leaders of all that is need new limos, jets, other stuff now and again. Hope that’s ok.
