New deer deterrent motor: field report

I've been testing out a new motor in hopes of finding a better replacement for the rotisserie hack.

The shaft is much smaller, which has led to a lighter support arm design like the one shown above. It's been in service for a bit over a month now with no problems.

One of the things I like about this motor is the fact that it's a bit slower than its rotisserie cousin giving the deterrent a longer interval of silence. It requires one of those wall warts for power, which you don't need with the rotisserie version. I discovered that you can use a 9 volt wall wart to get an even slower rate that might prove to be more tolerable for those of you in suburban environments.
