So I always wanted to make a shooting gallery with the ducks that go by and you shoot them over type of thing.
Where do you get a motor that moves slowly like would be used for that?

The slow moving motors are the ones that are harder to find.

Also my wife bought a whole corner of a room once just for one item and in that lot was an old TV much like yours but we left it there, wish we had taken it now.
The lot was like $5.00 bucks.

Can't wait to see the end.

Sure I can help! It depends on the size of your shooting gallery project. If you are going full-sized, I would start with the motors out of garage door openers. If you are going smaller, these are what I use:

High Torque Turbo Geared Motor DC 12V Motor

Greartisan DC 12V Motor

Both can be purchased at different speeds, based on your requirement. And both are high torque, which is what you need to drive weighty mechanics.

I also know how to create an electronic score-keeping system. And I know how to start/stop 12V and 120V motors using electronic controls.

(By the way, never pass up a $5 vintage console TV!!!!! We turn them into sexy dry bars and people fight to buy them from us, up to $500. We have done 4.)
