Original poster: "Anthony R. Mollner" <penny831@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> I finally got my hands on a genuine teletype synchronous motor! Now what do I do with it, haha? It is an 1800 rpm single phase motor of the 1/40th hp type. I cleaned and oiled it and it seems to work just great. What are the groups opinion on designing the gaps, BPS, etc. and I will make it. Thanks for all your help. Tony
