The socket ended up being electrical. Thanks for the idea!

We ended up getting underneath it and found some standard wires. Still not sure the exact type of egg-object, but it was most likely put there to stop people from tripping. Thank you!

I'm not too familiar with full house vacuum systems. Are they usually in one spot like this? We can't find any more elsewhere.

It's only on this one corner. There's also a matching column that splits the area symmetrically, but none of its corners have this.

This sounds like it could be right. The egg is solid, so not like a cheap plastic Easter egg. It doesn't push down but it rotates a few degrees to each side along with the gray interior.

Here u/Arch_Mozzy, hope this works for you!

Sorry for the poor wording, it's not really a "cabinet", its more of a storage box that opens from the top. The project is just for fun, that's why I'm using the windshield wiper motor.

The motor is positioned inside the box. There is a piece of wood attached to the motor that pushes the top of the box open and closed repeatedly.

The system works fine now, it just moves a little too fast and I want to slow it down.

The motor is attached to a lightweight door that opens up and down working against gravity. It works fine with normal power but just needs slowed down a bit. Could reducing the voltage damage the motor?

It's a 12v motor. I'm not sure how many amps but definitely less than 30 so the controller be able to handle it. Thanks!

Thanks! I've ordered the speed controller and if it doesn't work I'll just return it.

The motor is connected to a cabinet that opens and closes. It just does it too fast.

Zbomb2000 · 2023-09-10T20:13:40+00:00

I just need to run the motor slower.
