To answer your question, the industry stopped making manually controlled device in favor of signal control. We use VFD's to control motor speed and direction on 3-phase induction motors that are more efficient and have less wear parts than the motor you are using. They are also safer to use as people dont have to put their hands anywhere near the motor or any moving parts. That said, there is a place for devices like what you have in the home workshop, providing people use them safely. Hope that helps, stay safe man!

The only viable reason would be heat build up in the motor due to large current flowing through the windings while the motor is running slowly/stationary. If it was connected to a heavy load, the transition from one direction to another could take a while allowing more heat to build up in the motor.

For anyone who would like to know more about how it works, this is a single phase AC repulsion motor with variable brush placement. It is not a repulsion-start/induction-run motor, so its brushes are always engaged rather than disconnected after a target RPM. It’s like a combo between a standard AC induction motor with its stator design, and a brushed DC motor with its commutator wound armature/rotor. The maximum repulsion occurs intuitively at 45 degrees of separation between stator magnetic field and the induced rotor field (same angle as the shorted brushes). Since it can rotate either direction the motor is bidirectional.

It is a repulsion motor. This was used more frequently in the past to achieve smooth regulation of the speed and torque. For example, it was used in some electric locomotives. When frequency converters were not available or were still very expensive, this was the only way to regulate the motor speed almost continuously, apart from using DC machines. The way it works is that the rotor has carbon brushes that short-circuit the rotor winding and can adjust its alignment, thereby shifting the magnetic field of the rotor in relation to the magnetic field of the stator. This literally changes the efficiency of the motor. The repulsion motor is no longer used for various reasons. On the one hand, the functional principle itself is to adjust the speed with the efficiency, which then also causes the line to drop and lose speed very quickly as the load increases. This also means that the starting currents are significantly higher than with other electric motors. In addition, the brushes wear out very quickly due to the resulting brush fire ("sparks"). Furthermore, the motor generates a considerable phase shift and therefore places a significant load on the mains with reactive currents. There are also a few other disadvantages in the operating behaviour that I can't think of now. However, all this has led to the repulsion motor being replaced almost everywhere by asynchronous or synchronous machines with frequency converters.

But it doesn’t need to be to that extreme…I have a 1953 Jeep Willys. Still runs, and I know the tolerances for the motor and other items are not near as tight as today’s, but that old unit will go forever. Might need a rebuild on the tranny and motor and some new bearings here and there, but overall the Jeep will be here long after I’m gone. Cars from the 80s? Most are heaps in yards.

The issue with these motors is the brushes wearing out and the lack of speed control. Yes you can "throttle" the motor by lowering power, but you can't tell it to run at say....3600 rpm. It's essentially a constant power, variable speed device which is really not what you want. You almost always want want constant speed with variable power. It's highly likely to damage pumps via overspeed or burn out if geared too low. It's not a conspiracy, VFD run synchronous motors really are that much better.

It looks beautifully restored

We used motors very similar to this back in the 80’s in the precision optics industry. We called them ‘Side Lathes’ and used them for polishing small radius lenses which were mounted on to pieces of wooden dowel with pitch (tar). The radius tools (both fine smoothing and polishing) were mounted on the axel shaft and the speed control gave us micro adjustments to the curvature of the lens. Early ones allowed reverse so you could spin the threaded tool off the shaft but later ones had the reverse locked off as speed control boxes were fitted. This one looks frickin’ awesome. 👏👏👏

It's only throwaway if you're wealthy enough to constantly replace, or buy bargain bin crap that is only still produced because morons keep buying it. Everything, literally everything, I have bought for my shop is repairable, the plastic and other parts included. I have two pieces of vintage gear, and otherwise everything is hand-crafted or I have enough skill to dismantle and repair literally all of it. I learned all this because the previous generation decided to absolutely tank a record-high post-war economy in favor of profit-first consumer-last mentalities, forcing anyone who isn't rich or has any kind of financial burden (like kids or... owning things) to learn how to fix what we've got or go without. I don't understand why people think you can't repair things. Seems like either a lack of willingness to learn new skills and concepts or just straight up laziness, because I haven't met anyone I couldn't teach to repair/restore just about anything.

I suspect that this particular setup might also be rejected today due to safety concerns. The big lever for speed/direction control is more likely to be accidentally bumped than some smaller dial or switch. Also in the case of an emergency there is a chance someone reacts by trying to use the lever to slow/stop it but with stop in the middle there is a chance they pull too far and change direction instead.

It's also very inconvenient having to fiddle every time you move from your table saw to say your belt sander. So it's really not greed of the tool companies, but rather safety and ease of use.

You did an excellent job restoring it. It probably was Discontinued because it is not safe. Potential for electrocution through a brass handle, Open coil fingers could get trapped in and an open pulley which known to be able to twist and rip your limbs and fingers clean off. Just let your shirt sleeve get near that open pulley while it is running. They will be calling your "lefty" from then on. Old tools are great, but usually no thought about safety was included in their design.

Here's why they probably stopped making them: They run too hot at low rpms. Motor speed induces air flow to help cool it. You run it too slow for long periods and it melts the windings, shorts it out, and you're left with a boat anchor.

​​@@peterhorniak8766The more out of phase a motor is, the more work there is to do to bring the magnetic fields into alignment. When they are aligned less current will flow because the magnetic fields will be more static (as in standing still). Coils are inductor after all. They induce magnetic fields when fed voltage. If I supply a given coil with 12 volts, it will consume energy until it's magnetic field has been charged, at which point the magnetic field pushes back. When you stop supplying voltage the magnetic field will collapse and induce a voltage in the coil. The fields collapse at the speed of light though which produces a very high voltage if you can cut off the energy feeding it more quickly than it can collapse. Thank transistors I guess that tiny inductor are even useful. Anyways this is how voltage boosting works. The tool of course increases the current a lot because it is holding the magnetic field out alignment with its massive particle body so it takes much more energy to move the whole system rather than just the rotor. When you overload a motor, what that really means is just that too much electricity is going through it and the materials are going to be heated until they fail. Assuming an indestructible substance you could run any ammount of energy through it. Reality is though that you'll burn the enamel and the coils will turn from one really long wire wound a bunch of times into one thick slug that smells weird. The voltage will fall dramatically as electricity is suddenly given 100x the space to move through it and then your breaker will trip. If there is no breaker it will just make a space heater and it's only limiting factor will be the thinnest or most kinked, hottest spot of wire in a junction box in your wall. That will fail only after it starts a fire. All that wood touching it is what kept it cool for the first three seconds. Also if the coils are nearly in phase then they will produce a lot of torque instead of speed, which is just another option for efficiency when you are at low rpms. Man I really want one of these on my lathe. What a butt simple design. Cheaper and better than my DC lathe. DC lathe with digital speed control can only detect how much electricity to use based on how much you are stopping the motor. At low speeds with no load it has to use a really low voltage. Which just results in lower torque than it's higher speeds have. So at low speeds it hangs and lags a lot, especially when you place your tools. This is better than CVT lathes, which I prefer to my DC lathe.

Actually, I looked and could not find a new source for this type of motor. The reason is that now of days, everyone is just using a 3 phase motor and a VFD. There is one major problem with this motor, it, even when sitting still, is drawing a fair amount of current. The VFD / 3 phase motor on the other hand draws almost no current when it's stopped and not commanded to hold the stopped position. After all, the VFD/3 phase motor can be commanded to run at full torque and 0 RPM.
