Man, in my youth, I worked in a hardware store, and we got a new paint tinting machine one day, and the boss said through the old one out, or take it home. The old one had about a dozen cylindrical reservoirs to hold the respective color of tint, each with their own low speed, hi torque sealed 110V grounded motors, sealed in an aluminum cap, with a slotted shaft for the mixing shaft, which was attached by a steel collar with a recessed set screw. Each of the motorized units had a grounded 12" cord. i stripped them out of it, and held onto them for I don't know how many years (decades even ), I had 'em in a box. Through a couple of moves, they became lost to me forever. What I'd give, to have them today. The good news is, some of the independent hardware stores, still have those paint tinting machines. If I still had them, I would gladly send you one on the house. They were supposed to be for future animations on my train layout, and a motorized turntable was in the mix. They would have been just the ticket, except for the indexing part. Good luck Bob, keep us posted on your progress.
