i need to find a speed control for my dry washer. I've tried most of the junk on ebay, i just tried a heater switch with 3 speed.it was to far between speeds,i need something like a volume switch.needs to be 12 volts. hoping someone can help.i will also post in the dry washing thread. thanks brad

Hi Brad,

What you need is a 12v rheostat that can handle the current of your
drywasher motor. This should handle the job nicely.

If for some reason that doesn't do it for ya, in a pinch Dremel tool speed controls will work. Just gotta change the motor to a plug end. "If all else fails cheat!"
