I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but I took some more quick pics. Note: the power feed is not installed but I have all the parts. Planning on moving the machine soon so I didn't set it up yet.
Is that motor cast iron? If so its a 50+ pounder. I used to live in Schenectady, NY GE still has a huge campus there. They used to employ like 70,000 workers, now its less than 3,000.
I visited Jason and saw this motor. I think the motor runs nice after that initial puff. Starts up quickly runs smoothly after that.
The puff of smoke goes away after the first second, so I wouldn't think it was a brush sticking, but it does sound a little like a brushed motor when it is about to stop.
So cool to see a motor like this I haven't seen before!
