Looking for the entire working motor assembly for the spinning disc on Black Hole. Other than the mounting holes, I am missing everything.

The finding the original motor is slim. I have not found one yet after owing two Black Holes for the last ten years. The two machines I have owned had a working motor but the gears in the gear box were no good. Your best bet is two use a direct motor with no gear box. I did this conversion on both of my machines, and it works excellent. If you have not seen this, you can go to this link below for the instructions on how to do this conversion.

Here is a video link if you want to see this motor in action on one of my Black Holes.

I had thought about doing the pinwiki method, but both hub options have been discontinued. Did you find any alternates?

I made the original hub for the grainger motor years and years ago. I could probably make another 1 or see if I still have one in the shop.

Oh shoot. That Pinwiki write up was my solution for the Black Hole motor. I will see what I can find for hubs to update it.

Great, I appreciate it. Literally everything is missing on mine. I have reached out to Shay about the wheel plastic as I hear they have them.

Do you mean the spinning disc? Mine has a fair amount of wear I’d love to fix or replace someday.

Here are exact parts from Randy at Peak to Peak

Every part on that list replies with a 404 not found when you click on the links. Those hubs are no longer available through Servo City.

Maybe I should just 3D print the hub bearing so it fits the grainger motor. The cost would only be for the motor.

Is that a drop in? All that's needed is the motor, disc and hardware?

Not an exact drop in. You have to mount it as the Grainger motor is bigger than the old motor, but much more durable. It it easy. I provide all stuff for the hub and the motor kit. I wish I could find my old website.

Disc and hub.

The disc is a reproduction if my memory is correct.. I can't remember whom made it but can see bands in graphics from printing.

Not a perfect repo but it is flat.

Hub is one from Robot workshop that is now discontinued.
