Hi Terry,

I do not know what type of motor this is, all i can
say about it is it came from an old microwave, it is
the same type as used in overhead projectors.  It's
the type with a single coil looks kinda like this
It may be a sync, the spark it makes is knda wimpy
compared to a static gap, much dimmer and not as loud.

where "c" is the coil, "o" s the rotor, and the || and

I set it by puting it alone across my supply and
closing the cap just enough to make it arc, then i
backed it off a little so it would not fire, dont know
the exact spacing.
