Re: how to.inspect.motor?
One can also take a hacksaw blade and use that to clean out the insulation. Some may require a bit of modifying to fit properly. george

I've seen them on ebay & at some flea markets . the motor has that long skinny shaft with a little star washer kinda lookin cutter that cleans out the grooves on the communicator .? Let me see if I can find a longer youtube on it . Mine is over at a bud's place , We were thinkin on doing some automotive alternator windmills , but life got in the way . I installed some new power in our local NAPA auto parts for their new alternator tester? when he said gimme a bill I told him I wanted the old tester , we were gearing up & then ..... Here's a pretty good tube on one , these folks have a couple of

.
I have never seen one of these and
this unit clearly has a label identifying its'-self.
Is this your actual lathe or similar
to yours?
What does the motor do? Help with
balancing? Missing a chuck that has a cutter to clear the
grooves between the armature contacts?
Does it have a main drive motor?
.
Nice history lesson.

I picked up a armature lathe many years back at a yard sale .
I asked the guy how much for te armature lathe & he said "
is that what that is " . He gave it to me cause I was the only
guy out of 50-75 people that knew what it was . Have used it a
fair amount over the years . .? If ya ever see one of these at a yard sale & ya can get
it cheap their on the handy side . I've always used scotch pads instead of sand paper over teh
years , their a bit cleaner then sand paper . Here's some
scotch pad info that some of ya may find interesting SCOTCH-BRITE
