What is the easiest way to identify a 103 motor?
I also have a 156 with the cutoff switch attachment for a 100 motor, is
this useable at all with the 103 motor (not that one really needs it
since the battery car has the cutoff and reversing switches built in,
but if one wanted to use another battery box with a 4.5v motor the
cutoff would be handy).
