See the post above about substituting an industrial sewing machine motor. The mention is about the 4th post, i think.

This is the one you want Frank. It has infinite speed adjustment rheostat.

The Penn motor is a good one...but the Chinese built controller is a boat load of crap....many issues with the speed control and torque control potentiometers going flukey along with soldering errors, improper heatsinks.... Get a Dayton controller and that same motor is a beast.
