	Right, if you can get by with a motor of that size.  I've given away a
couple of Model 26 machines to fellows wanting a sync motor.  [Machines
were too good to throw away, but took too much room.  Glad someone got
some use out of them.]  However, not quite all machines used a sync
motors.  Some very old ones used a governor motor, so look at the name
plate.
