Model D Question
Does anyone know if there's a variable speed motor controller or dimmer that would work on a Model D? Would it damage the motor?

Re: Model D Question
Your best option is a Variac, but, Iv'e used a regular lighting dimmer on my Model D. Just don't leave it on anything lower than 120 for very long.

Thanks for your replies. I ended up getting this: http://www.amazon.com/SE-Step-Less-Spee ... Controller
It works perfectly!
