I have been unable to find a 2 RPM Synchron motor for the timing delay on the old GE BT-20-A I am bringing back to life. I can find plenty 1 RPM, however. Other than taking a full minute to allow B+ to be activated instead of 30 seconds, I can see no reason why it wouldn't serve the same

Thanks Bill. I think I'll just go with the 1 RPM for now and if I ever run across a 2 RPM I'll swap it out. The extra 30 seconds would only allow the 8008's to heat a little longer and that sure shouldn't hurt anything. 73, Rick/K5IZ The manual states a delay of 30 seconds delay due to the
