Got a new speed controller :)
 

I've been trying to use a good old rheostat to control the speed of my screener motor and it worked for awhile till it got a little warm and now lost any real adjustment. All out or nothing.
So , the reason for my post.... I found something others may be interested in. Very, very in exspensive . $7.37 Canadian, free shipping!
A speed controller that can handle 5-16V. 200W and a 20 amp max. Tested tonight and it works perfect! Precise control through the entire speed range and maintains strength from free wheel to loaded.
I am so impressed and happy, I ordered another to use for testing motors, light circuits etc, at whatever voltage I want! :cool:

Looks great, sold out and they do not ship to the US. Hope it does what you need.

Here's another one for you guys that does ship to the US and has a reversing switch.

Thanks for posting Peter. I forgot to mention I found many suppliers of these units. I forgot about the one with the reverse option. That would be great for testing stuff :cool:
