Thanks. I should have been more specific. I'm looking for a picture of the motor nameplate so that I can suggest an appropriate DC drive.Here's some photos
Agreed. However a rectifier could be fitted inside the reversing barrel switch. That would be weird, but possible.You must have an ac motor there if you are just plugging it in- a dc motor would require, at the minimum, a bridge rectifier between the wall power and the motor, probably mounted in a little box somewhere on or near the forward/reverse switch (if there is one)
