       Early Marklin Motor
       By: crazydoug Date: January 20, 2021, 6:48 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This was a recent Ebay purchase.  It was advertised as a Marklin
       motor, which I believe is accurate, but I would be happy to have
       someone identify it, perhaps with a date of manufacture, as
       well.  A few drops of oil and a six volt power supply, and it
       took right off running.  My guess would be that this motor is
       around 100 years old, give or take a decade.

       Hi Doug,
       That's a great little motor! It took some searching but found
       this in a 1912 Marklin catalog reprint. Yours looks like model
       no. 3286 which was offered in two sizes. Compare the catalog
       dimensions with yours. Where do you get a neat little power
       supply like in your video?

       Just noticed 3286 is 110 or 220V AC, so yours may be a version
       of the one above it. Not all sizes and variations are pictured
       in these catalogs, unfortunately.

       Thanks for the info. My son had one of these power supplies on
       his workbench and i had to have one! It has handled running all
       my early motors including the  big K&D motors.
