RE: I'm looking for a source to buy used/surplus induction motors

Herbach & Radman have a nice model, their catalog #TM89MTR1882/C, for the
amazing price of just $3.25 (plus shipping for 15lbs).  I bought one and
successfully ground the flats to make it sync, although I suspect I took too
much off and it sometimes didn't start from four positions 90 degrees apart.
Specs: 115VAC, 1/8HP, ball bearings, 1725RPM, run capacitor supplied, 5 5/8"
dia x 6 1/2" long.  See www.herbach-dot-com.  They have a wide variety of other
motors as well.

Hello,

Does anyine know of a source to purchase used or surplus induction motors?
I am looking for a 1/4 - 1/10 hp (closer to 1/4hp) capacitor start/induction
run motor with ball bearings, ~1725 rpm, 120v/60hz to modify to make
salient/synchronous.

thanks a bunch,
John M.
