I got a cordless toilet from Harbor Freight, the 12 volt model. Didn't last
very long, but for $29.99 I can afford to buy another one in a couple
months.

Get one that interchanges with your Ranco ball rotator.

Subject: Problem with my Electric Balls Rotator
Date: Thursday, January 15, 2004 11:44 AM

I recently bought the "Ronco" electric balls rotator. The
manufacturer said this thing will rotate my balls 20 times every
minute at the slow speed, and 180 times every minute at fast speed. I
thought this would be a worthwhile investment, since my balls were
just hanging there getting no use.

I clamped it to my shaft as directed. I connected it to the outlet,
and it began rotating. I adjusted it for a medium rotation speed and
it worked well for the first couple minutes. Suddenly it began
increasing in speed and within a few minutes it was operating at over
1200 rotations per minute, and the rotation meter was pegged and the
word "OVERLOAD" was flashing on the digital readout. That's when the
whole thing went crazy. My balls became entangled around each other,
and the left ball ended up on the right and the right on the left.
What a mess, and quite painful too. I pulled the plug and called
customer service.

I spoke with the main man, (Ron Ronco - company president). He told
me to push the button labelled "info", which I did. Then he asked me
to give him the code numbers, which I did. He said that the numbers
indicate that my balls are too large and too heavy for normal use, and
that considering this, it is normal for the machanics in the machine
to over compensate and increase speed. He told me that my balls do
not fit in the "normal range" for size and weight, and that there is
nothing he can do for me, and I will just have to use the machine as
is. I asked for a refund, and was told that they will not give
refunds due to personal physical abnormalities. I am really angry
about this, but it appears there is little I can do other than sue the
company and/or file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

I am asking if anyone might offer a means to change the mechanics in
this device by possibly modifying the voltage or power consumption to
compensate for my supposed abnormality. I'd also like to know if any
of you men who are using one of these devices are having any problems
with it?

Has anyone tried any of these new cordless toilets? I am looking into
replacing my toilet and thought I might go with one of these cordless
models. However, I'd like to get opinions from others that have tried
them before buying one.

Foggeddabout the whole thing! This thread is making my balls rotate
fast enough already.

I posted the description in my last news group post.

The electric ball rotator is available in several different models. The high
power one with the 24 volt battery is good for construction sites, and auto
dealerships (where you find big furry pairs). There is also a 3.6 volt
trainer model which is sold in college bookstores. Before cordless tools,
they used to use a plug in model, which had safety problems. And should not
be used in the bath tub or shower.

Did anyone else see the program on TV about the history of the
................... VIBRATOR?

Quite enlightening and entertaining.

Not seen the TV program. I did see the email that made the rounds. About the
airport security guys putting a suitcase in the bomb room, and then call the
people whose name was on the tag, and had them open the suitcase while they
watched from behind the bomb shields. And it was.... well the dumb chick
left the batteries in her vibrator, and the switch got bumped on.
