Hi All,
Those old motors can usually be resurrected but it can take some ingenuity
You can buy a starting relay that does away with the centrifugal sw fairly cheaply
Some of the motors did not have a capacitor (forget the name now)
I have never found a washing machine motor that had a suitable speed for what I needed at the time
GB, Put a wanted ad in "
https://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/ " for a secondhand motor
Small 3 phase motors are very cheap secondhand as most home users want single phase
I think GB could go this way for £150-200 all in including the inverter ??
As to my machinery, I have the Harrison lathe for sale as I have "retired
"
I need the space for our MGB
