It's the Raytec units I was looking at in MSC. The bowls are downright
reasonable which led me to think, heck, I can hang an eccentric weight
off a motor. Seems like something that with a bit of tinkering, ought to
be doable. But for now, I think I might go look up Dillon.
Just curious, would you consider doing up a quick sketch of the weight
on your Raytec, and let me know what size motor and bowl you have?

Jin,

I'll do you one better and post pictures for you. They had a hex bar about
5/8" across flats for the weight. I think it was about 3 inches long. The
5/16" motor shaft hole was about 3/4'" from one end. I take them off and make
my own with a long 5/16-18 setscrew sticking out where the main body of the
weight was. Then I add or subtract large washers 1" od, 1/4" thick to adjust
the amplitude. I found the stock setup was shaking so hard, it didn't do a
good job of circulating the parts. Give me a few to post the photos.
