Correction!
Huebsch LTZ8* is discontinous after 2003 (NOT 1993/94) and is replaced by LTZ9*.
Would prefer LTZ8* for its electro-mechanical timer.
Would prefer LTZ9* for its 3-phase induction motor which is more robust than DC series motor (used by LTZ8*).
For a fast spin of 1000 rpm (drum speed), the motor would be about 10,000 rpm if the pulley raito is 10:1. The brushes and communutator of the DC series motor would give a high pitch noise.
