Hi Worth,

I just got the motor from Amazon Prime today:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...+motor+01-0101

and wanted to let you know that IT WORKS on my Villa Ware (Victorio) No. 200 Food Strainer. The Amazon reviews were mixed, but I think that if I don't push it too hard, it should work out fine.

Thanks again!
Anne

Hi Worth,

I just discovered that the new motor's Weston/Roma ravioli machine adapter fits my Ampia hand crank pasta machine (which is as old, if not older, than the Tomato Strainer)! I don't think the mounting bracket will work with the Ampia, but I can probably figure out a way to hold the motor in place. A nice little, unexpected, bonus .

There are a lot of things out there that interchange that they don't advertise.

Default Victorio Juicer

http://www.durgan.org/2015/July%2020...20Juicer/HTML/ 13 July 2015 First use of Victorio Juicer
My recently purchased electric motor driven was tested making juice from garden vegetables.The main advantage over a hand turned food mill is the automatic cranking, which marginally reduces some labour. The unit works reasonably well. The device is marginally better than the hand operated food mill.Basically it is a strainer. It could be much improved by making a realistic mounting system, since modern kitchens do not have readily available surfaces for mounting clamp type appliances. The motor should have a screw to mount the motor securely. The shaft seal leaks just enough to be a misery. I always put the residue from such devices through the Champion juicer to extract as many nutrients as possible.

I have seen several devices with this miserable mounting style.
It is something a person should think of if they are designing a kitchen or processing area.

I am in the process of modifying the clamping method. I notice that is slips back using the present method. It is slightly less onerous using he motor drive, but I will know more at the end of the canning season. There is not much produce available to can right now.
I am going to modify to this clamp.

I imagine that they still had practicality in mind back in the 70's.
And the design was for the older counter tops.
Mine are worthless they have moulding all around them.

Default Victorio Juicer Modified Mounting clamp

http://www.durgan.org/2015/July%2020...%20clamp/HTML/ 15 July 2015 Victorio Modified Mounting clamp
The mounting clamp on the Victorio Juicer is not adequate for mounting on a modern kitchen rounded counter top. It slips in use, so I decided to modify.
A strong clamp was purchased off the internet http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121136455726 and modified. The original clamp on the juicer was cut off and two 1/4 inch holes drilled for mounting. On the purchased mounting bracket two corresponding holes were tapped for taking 1/4 inch threaded bolt. This can be done with a hand drill, but is decidedly easier if taken to a machine shop. Fortunately I had the necessary bit and a tap.The modified mounting system is rock solid.
