So it's all dismantled, and I just happen to have a battery pack right here on
my desk.

So I plug it in--still no spin

then a quick spin from my fingers and it catches--turns out that the motor was
probably just stalled.

Now it's spinning beautifully.  Now to get the thing back together--they held
the motor to the case with 2 faced foam tape (pre 1970) that's not really
looking good right now...

But wait!! I'm at work!! There should be a digital camera floating around here
somewhere...

and a little movie seeing it in (very noisy) action--

so there you are.

Now I just have to build something with it

Things of note--the motor itself--very heavy.

The battery box--8 studs by 11 studs--pretty odd dimensions.

the motor I have is different than in the picture on the box--I have a plastic
axle holder whilst the pic shows a metal one (and a few other differences in the
actual motor housing)

Eh, I'm just happy it works

(...) The grey motor in the center of the last photo - any idea how to fix one of them? I've got a battery box and one motor of that vintage but the motor seems seized too... -Rob A> (18 years ago, 25-Oct-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
