no much conversion needed.
just add a temperature control circuit (opto an triac, a pot and a
transistor)
and find a way to mechanically drive it.

then loosen the tension springs -> ready.

Tell me if i have to make a web page.

no oil used here, the teflon / silicone does well without.

He says it works too.
