Homebrew PCBs

Hi Stefan,
In my Photo album I have one picture, is this a thermo *device* that
can be used for the schematics you will provide? I have found the 
optocoupler in the powersupply that switches the triac for the lamp.
Now only the thermostat and a slowmotor is needed :)
You say SLOW, taking the diameter of 16mm into account, how many rpms 
do you think is needed ?

I will provide pictures of this *adventure* with reports of *quality* 
of the TT. Looking forward to this project.

Bengt
