A Package Arrived From Across the Pond!
By: crazydoug Date: February 22, 2020, 5:15 pm

This hundred forty year old electric demonstration motor arrived
from Austria in perfect condition. It was well packaged and
took a month to get here, but it works great, and is in
museum-quality condition. In fact, it looks like it came out of
a museum, with some sort of catalog number on the base and
something in what I suppose is German written on the base, as
well. I'll have to get someone to translate.

Great old motor Doug - really in nice condition. Google
Translate yielded "Start with fine control" whatever that means.

Seeing this cool vintage electric motor inspired me to get this
from eBay:

Only $7 with free shipping. My plan is to bin the plastic and
replace with wood to "old time" it. I'll brush paint the
armature black and spin it up via large flywheel while the
engine does other things as well. Hopefully it'll light a single
LED?

Doug, amazing artifact ! Do you have a closeup picture showing
the commutator?
Cbwho: there are also small a/c dynamos on ebay and amazon that
can couple via drive belt your demo motor (or steam engine) .
They come with a little red LED and will light up with only the
effort of spinning with fingertips. I recently got a ~8$ “
Crocsee 3 phase ” that’s fun to experiment with.
