Wanted: Graupner Speed 500E 12v motor

[Dave MilbournParticipant @davemilbourn48782]

I need one of these for a three-motor project but I've managed to obtain only two. If anyone has a spare 12v 500E which they would be prepared to sell then please send me a private message.

Hi Dave,

I got two from Scoonie Hobbies at Haydock Park this year. I dont know if they have any more left but it might be worth giving them a ring. Unfortunately I needed both of them for a model and they are now fitted and in use.

Regards

Gareth

Translation for Paul T:

It is for my friend's motorised patrol boat, honey*. My boat has only two propellers and I have the motors for it but I'm assembling the electrical apparatus for both models.

*(Geordie term of affection)

Do you suppose the poor man never understood a word of "Auf Wiedersehen, pet"?
