Lookin' for 12volt motor and speed control. "Cheep"
Just like some of y'all here, I'm a tinkerer.
Always lookin' for another way to do things.
Been conciderin' a car heater fan motor and fan speed controls, but.....
Any ideas or sources?
Laziness is the mother of invention, not neccessity. LOL

Best 12V motor I have found is the ones they use on wheel chairs...the whole set up can be variable speed and very powerful. I use one on a 4 ft. drum trummel set up.
Trummel will not get to me here in AZ. until a friend brings it from Baker City Oregon for me. March 5th. I was just letting the guy know that the wheelchair motor is by far, in my opinion. the best motor to use when you want variable speed, and power.
I was going to suggest using a wind shield wiper motor as that is what some friends of ours used on the Gold Genies when they manufactured them years ago, but I see after reading further that several of you have already suggested it.
Ya know, I seriously concidered the wiper motor.
The way that the blower motor mounts is better suited for my use.
It's easier to find the speed controls for a blower motor. Very many wiper controls for cars are the hesitation type. That won't work for me. I don't know if blower controls would work on a wiper motor.
Thanks for the reply.

Depending on what you are making, a windshield wiper motor might be best.
I know the Gold Genie used a 12 volt wiper motor, I assume they still do.
