“Clip: [Restoration] Hard working – Rare Antique Ball Motor”

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. The motor was actually in fairly decent condition for being over 100 years old.
