Hi,
I am building a motorized easel for large format paintings that do not exceed 100 lbs; average probably more like 50 lbs max. My rough 3D diagram does not show the motor or pullies, etc, but I hope you can get an idea of where these things would go. Motor mounts on the bottom. Cables will raise and lower the central panel via pulleys up top. I purchased a 2500 lb capacity winch motor from Amazon, but it looks like it can only operate via 12v battery; and the instructions also say it should not be used to lift things vertically. Can anyone advise me re: what kind of motor to buy and where to buy one? I only know basic electrical stuff, so please don't throw advanced technical specs at me. Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thank you
