[QUOTE="MJB, post: 89364, member: 1222"] Gcause, Just out of curiosity, if you are going down the path of fitting a leaf blower motor to your dry washer why not forget about the bellows style washer and knock one up like the keene 140 . The bellows style appeals to me only because its a lot quieter running than having an annoying motor revving its arse off. Having said that the one I am building is a clone of the keene 140 with the eccentric fan (home made) so I will need a noisy motor too. I was impressed when I used DiggerDudes and I just had to have one although the price for a newie was crazy. Just from watching a few Youtube vids it looks like the bellows style with its pulsing of air blasts might blow fine gold out of the riffle tray where as the constant air flow mixed with vibes of the other type might allow the heavies a better chance to sink to the bottom and get caught. Anyway, just thinking about it. If anyone has more experience with these it would be great to hear about your opinions. Cheers [/QUOTE]
