Ah! Interesting.  To avoid tipping fees at the dump, an auctioneer
friend has offered to give me the un-saleable detritus from an
exercise equipment repair biz he's auctioned off.  There are a couple
of partially disassembled treadmills in the pile of Stuff.  Maybe I
can have a variable speed motor on my drill press!

Thanks for the pointer, Michael.
