Hi,

Anticipating a bumper crop this year, I thought I might finally "bite the bullet" and buy a motor for my Villa Ware Victorio 200 Food Strainer. I was a bit shocked to find out that the model no. 200 that I have was discontinued over 20 years ago!! (Seems like only yesterday that I bought it.......).

It turns out that the current Victorio motors don't work with the older 200 models. I really don't want to buy a new food/mill strainer because there's nothing wrong with what I have now and I'd probably have to buy all new accessories (the various screens and different size red spindle thing) if I got the new model Victorio. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of some sort of after market or DIY set up that can be used as a motor for the older Villa Ware/Victorio No 200 food mills.

Thanks!
Anne
