Hello, I have an old homemade electric spinning wheel which consists of a bunch of wood metal and string parts, but the important part here is the motor. Its got an old sewing machine motor, but I want something very quiet and strong with as high a RPM as I can get. I need it to be able to attach to a foot rheostat to start and stop it. There are sewing machine motors that comes with the the foot rheostat but what else could I use? A automobile fan motor? What do the professional makers use, like Ertoel's Roberta or Ashford's electric spinner?
