Daryl:

Appreciated your comments on the Centaur Forge PB-50 blower.  I, too, 
fell victim to one of these units.  Good blower, stupid motor and speed 
controller.  I'd be interested in a description of what you devised.

That's it exactly! Unfortunately my unit still sits in the corner of the 
garage but I have a 1/3 and 3/4Hp 120VDC motors which I may use to power 
the blower someday. Right now I'm happy with my squirrel cage 
arrangment. If I ever get a permanent set-up or into casting metal I 
might use it. For now it serves as a reminder to "caveat emptor" when 
catalog shopping 8^)

Cheers

p.s. I'm not trying to "dis" Centaur forge or anything. They *do* offer 
good products etc. I just think it's fair to warn hardworking folk about 
flubs.
