Rare Antique Ball Motor [Restoration]

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This restoration is on a 1910s ball-shaped motor off of a medical vibrator. The "Cologne Vibrator" was made and sold by the F.S Betz Co. of Hammond, Indiana. F.S Betz Co. started in 1909 and was the world's largest supplier of medical equipment by time it was sold in 1937. Betz also produced cars and ran an airline for a short time.
Oddly, there is not much information about this company on the internet. I hope to find the attachments that were powered by this motor: i.imgur.com/xOcZkJu.png.
Taking this motor apart was a lot of fun since it was a giant puzzle. The moment I found this motor I wanted to know how it was put together inside and why it was designed in this shape. The motor housings were completely japanned and I did my best to recreate that look with modern finishes. I am hoping to have a large oven hooked up in my workshop so I can do some real japanning soon.
The motor was actually in fairly decent condition for being over 100 years old and just needed some de-rusting and cleaning to get back on it's feet.
A lot of parts were nickel-plated brass, so I took the chance to remove the nickel-plated where I thought it would look best.
The motor now runs well with fresh grease, but spins very fast. I was surprised at how fast it was and I wish I had a tachometer to see the exact speed. I plan on keeping this motor so I can be reminded about finding the attachments to it.
I would like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

You cut right to the chase, no fuss, no incessant talking. Just teardown and rebuild. Makes me laugh and enjoy every one of your videos.

    The Hotel Des Artistes (which like the Plaza Hotel) had many permanent residents. Some apartments were still wired DC in early seventies. We were doing some work in Mayor John Lindsay's apt and they asked me to do some handy work in this elderly woman's apt. When I entered I noticed something strange about the lighting, on a hunch I asked if this was a DC apt. before I plugged in my drill, it was and she had me go to the basement a borrow a AC/DC drill from the super. That drill was huge and weighed a ton it had planetary reduction gears I had to use two hands and when you let go of the trigger and set it down the drill kept turning for at least a minute, slow rpm but still powerful. The super told me that Con Edison still supplied DC to a few older buildings.

    If I remember correctly from my trade school days, this motor type is c all a UNIVERSAL motor. Meaning it can run A/C or D/C. Which makes it easier to regulate the speed (RPM's). Also the name plate has some time relevant traits. Such (VTS) for volts. And no Rpm's marked. Finally one would think the frame style should be "R" for round.

    I would say that those oilers for the spindle came from the factory with some type of wick and Singer Sewing Machine Oil for lubrication. I am basing my assumption on a very old Westinghouse Black and Brass desk fan I have. They were marketed as a three speed (the first and second contacts were actually one so some deceptive marketing way back in the late 1800's.) They were called The Tank of fans if I'm not mistaken. Mine is a pre-1900 model and runs like a champ. But that is surprisingly how the spindle oilers were on those. I would love to see a restoration on one of those.

    Instead of wrapping heat shrink with electrical tape to ensure a fully closed insulation - if you pinch it with pliers while still hot/warm it will adhere to itself. (leave the tubing longer than the wires and pinch the area beyond the conductor) If your goal was to simply secure the heat shrink... you need a smaller gauge or one that shrinks more and secures itself through friction alone.

    That's not a maybe, it WILL make it safer. In the event a ground isn't avaliable, make sure the neutral (white) wire is what you touch. If you look up diagrams for breaker panels (main panel, not sub panel) the ground is tied to neutral and provide a quick, low reistance path neutral and hot to short circuit which trips the breaker. It's best to test with gfci when possible, even a small current on ground would trip the breaker.

    I've seen one of these complete in an oddities museum a few years back though not so big, it had an attachment on it about a foot long that then turned on a right angle extended a few inches to become the shape of an upside down mushroom about 3 inches across as only intended for external use. The one I saw was complete with gimbal and pulley system as to render it completely and easily mobile. Funny enough at the time it was this system of counterweights and steam punk esq design that I thought so interesting. From the appearance of the one I saw it most likely used a counterweight on the shaft which would make the entire motor shake. Which could explain why it spins so fast and also explains the excessive wear on the ring.
