Thanks Barry.

IIRC the reason Michell went DC is they stopped making the Pabst motors.

Talking to them they were suggesting a DC solution which would, to be quite frank, cost a lot of money.

Whilst this was a much cheaper cost in terms of bits, it did consume labour hours in terms of R&D and building the thing. But the satisfaction factor more than compensates.

Building another wouldn't take long at all.
