[600MRG] Variocoupler Motor Shaft Couplers

[Brian Pease]

These couplers look good, but when I needed an insulated ceramic shaft 
coupler for my vacuum variable, I found out that they haven't been made 
for generations and the remaining ones are selling for as much as $70.00 
each!  I found one modern ceramic copy for ~$20.00 but the design looked 
iffy.  MGS4U.com sells a nice insulated coupler that can tolerate a 
large amount of offset or mis-alignment for $19.00, but it is for 1.4" 
to 1/2" only.  It is easy to shim the 1'2' down to 1'4"
