Old motors

Post by SiRacer420 »

I got these old motors with some stuff I bought. The Speed Gem 2 is obvious but why is it missing a side of the top with a brush? Any ideas? Then the other one I have no idea about. Has pinion, spur, and turn markings and it has ROAR 91 on the end of it stamped. Any ideas?

Good enough for me. I have enough Lagniappe motors taking up space lol To the bin it goes.

The other I'll stick in the motor box until it finds a home. Thanks for the info gentlemen.

I started to but the collector in me wouldn't allow it. It's in the motor box.

The brush screw could also have backed out while running causing damage. The can is good for shelf display, and you could probably cut the comm to be usable.
