I'm sure those quad dryers are nice but wow $$$.
I think with a little thought you could make your own quad/tri/bi with 1 motor not 4, 4 sheaves, 4 clutches (rod grabbers) and a long oring.
Your just drying, don't need much torque but it has to be dependable as to not stop a rod before it is done.
For rod supports your don't really need sheaves, a felt lined V and some tape over the blank has little resistance when spinning slow.
After your sone making your rig you can mount it in a nice clean plywood box with 2 40W lightbulbs for a heat source. That really cuts down the drying time and will keep some airbourne dirt off them. My cellar isn't real free of airbourne dust so this I may build someday.
