Wiper motor continuous?? " 12 V DC WIPER MOTOR, New rightsngle gearmotor with reversing geartrain to give back and forth sweeping motion.---. " Rotation Approximately 165 degree arc."
As to lift motor, many unanswered questions: Weight, max current draw, torque, RPM under load.
With worm drive , most likley will hold position with out power. price not bad, but where to ship?

You can buy cheap PWM DC controllers on ebay ~$4 to $5.00.
Depends what kind of AC motor.
DC motors are often very cheap if you have an auto wrecker where you are, especially if it is a strip-your-own yard.
Max.
MaxHeadRoom, PWM DC controllers are ok. But my concern is price of DC motors.
Windshield wiper motor / power window motors are around $35 to $50.
Starter motors are more costlier.
None of them have required power rating too. I need 100W power since I will have to lift 10kg payload.
Generic 100W DC motors cost anywhere between $40-$200.
I do not know about AC motor costs for the same power rating, but I saw 100W sewing machine motor costs around $15 to $20, which is in my budget.

Thanks Bernard, I'm located in India. So shipping would be costlier than motor price I guess :D:)
I will try to find one locally. Thanks for the suggestion.
