I am using a 30 RPM motor that can be found on ebay searching for 50KTYZ and 30 rpm. Available multiple models in the 2.5-50 RPM range.
Shaft is 7mm, no idea how is the GF motor coupled, maybe it works...


GF uses TYJ-50 motor, which I believe has the same size as TYC-50. The latter has wide range of RPM selections and are available on ebay, but the GF motor has a longer shaft, and I don't think I can just swap out the shaft because the shaft is part of the motor gear system. I might be able to cut out the GF shaft and attach it to the TYC-50 shaft using a coupler, since there are holes on the shafts of both motors, it is possible, but it may be difficult to actually make that happen. I may had to live with the 3 RPM rotation speed, other people had reported that the result of the roasts with 3 RPM had been even, but they may or may not be the true connoisseurs who can tell the difference.
