I'd not seen one quite like it before. Although it was listed as non-working, I bought it with hopes that it would not take too much to get it working. The other interesting thing I noticed was that the name "Earl Horn" was scratched on the the underside of the base. I have several other Horn solenoid motors, and also know that Gil has one, as well. I thought perhaps that this could be owned or built by the same man. It did not take much to get it working, as described in the video. This will make a unique, one of a kind addition to my early motor collection.
