Hi Fred & John.
 
My comment about finding an Electrician was prompted by Fred's first post making me think he did not have enough basic knowledeg to takle this.
Burnt out electronic components can cost quite a bit if mistakes keep getting made as well.
 
As to it only being twelve volts, that does not automatically make everything safe, even lower voltages can cause fire or damage etc.
Sparks can set fire to solvents or gases.
 
I too was born when DC was supplied from local power stations in London. People used to  do things like charging batteries indoors with just a lamp in series from the mains, that was pretty dangerous with 200+ volts at the wire ends if the battery got disconnected, to say nothing of the explosive potential of a gassing battery!
 
Anyway thats enough of this, I hope you get the variable drive working.

From personal experience, I would say buy the best quality you can possibly afford.
Quality lasts, and this model engineering hobby tends to stick for life!

Hello.
 
Please find a local Electrician to help with this, before you possibly do some real damage to yourself or the equipment.

Hello.
 
I got a useful little booklet at the last ME Exh, it is published by the Federations.
Lots of useful info in the publications section of their web sites.
