I couldn't stand the cold weather anymore. So I pulled out my LDX rod that needed a guide replaced. Much to my wife's displeasure, I went ahead and used clamps to hold the drying motor in place. I took the tray motor from an old microwave turntable and screwed a crutch tip onto it to hold the rod in place. The supports, I made back when I had a TIG welder, but you can make some out of wood. Anyway, I clamped the pieces on the kitchen counter, snapped in the rod that needed the new guide and I plugged it in. It should be ready to remove from the fixture in a couple of hours, but won't be ready to use until tomorrow.

Power window motors from cars work well also.

That's some high tech engineering there! Good Job, Carlos.

lmgreeri, the reason I used a microwave motor is because it is AC. All I need to do is plug it into the wall and voila. What's funny is that sometimes it will rotate CW and sometimes CCW, just like the microwave turntable! LOL
