I was going thru some items at work today, and opened a box I had sat on a shelf a year or so ago. It had in it a vacuum pump and a vacuum turbine....I had been thinking about some specialty plastics forming some time back, a project which never came to fruition. Both work fine, cranked up the pair today and both ran with no problems. Either can be run on 110 or 220 with a wiring change. Tested both on 110. Make an offer, interesting trades (No wives, already have one, could not handle another.....!) or free airplanes...(ha, ha). The turbine will move around 20-23 CFM of air, so if you are playing with vacuum forming, these may be of interest.
