Rare Antique Ball Motor [Restoration]
This old rubber has hardened The rare cylindrical carbon brush! It’s huge! Just in case… This is not paint, it is japanning very hard to remove with paint stripper I need to remove as much as possible so it does not clog the sand blaster I forgot to turn on the vacuum… Japanning is thick and originally filled these holes Filler primer sand, then low gloss black enamel paint 7 coats Checking for electrical continuity I have to check every one… 2000 grit sandpaper Machining would be the proper method The chuck is loose… I lightly sandblasted it Brass blackener/kool-aid I glued sandpaper to the screwdriver I still want this to look old, but with the background a consistent colour Penetrating oil to revive the old rubber soak for 24 hours these are indexing marks Clear is better I am using a variable speed controller This motor spins very fast, almost too fast…

Why dont you get garbage on the floor to help you
Put black cover back on and antique brass fan blade from ebay it should sell for around 450 dollars
what the hell is this thing?
not one person said anything about him using nutella
Nutella??
why that shape tho
What is that. 17:14
I want one. 🥰👊😀
How does it work?
Молодец! Уверен — дай этому чуваку чуть подзаржавевшего "Толстяка" 1945 года, не сказав что это за "шарик",он и его восстановит и испытания,вновь заблестевшего, произведёт!
В общем — любой слесарь 5 разряда такое же сделает,дай ему стимул и соответствующие растворы с инструментом — ништяк!
Very unusual performance of the electric motor! Something funny! I wonder where it was used! Regards Vlad.
That's cool. Can I have it please
Ha. Got an ad for O'Reilly Auto Parts, I wanna call my local one and ask for a "rare cylindrical carbon screws" for my ball motor.
Thanks for the example of usage in the end
You left me thinking with the test, will the engine be for a dentist's wheel? '
no earth wire connected on full metal body appliance, not safe at all.
ништяк мина )
Bravo!!!! Great intro!
Great to see an old motor run again. Aren't those brass fittings on the end for grease? Or does the oil you added provide sufficient lubrication to the bearings?
😉
Until I saw the coils I thought this was an engine
I imagine having something like this in 1910s, that's not an average iPhone..
To anybody curious, yes this is for THAT kind of vibrator. The "treatment" was originally an outpatient procedure to relieve 'feminine hysteria'. Most of them look more at home in a garage than up a girl's squishy bits.
Holy s#it…you made a crazy dentist drill!
No, but seriously; that was spectacular. Very nice refurb.
I would not have guessed you could get away with refinishing the rotor on a wobbly drill press. I will have to try it myself.
Congrats. Beautiful motor
Why is it spherical?
Used to treat female hysteria, I'm sure.
Nutella!! That's chocolate frosting… someone explain this for me..
Nicely done.
Где синяя изолента?! Не канон!
Got to say, ……I like your style.
nice job. two thumbs up.
When it runs you can see all the sparking from behind the builder's plate.
that's neat. but what would be the point of a ball motor?
also that ungrounded metal case and poorly insulated contacts is super cringy.
you know you're in canada when someone uses hockey tape on electrical wires…
Такой дрелькой только платы и сверлить ☺
Классно. Спасибо за интересное кино про необычный двигатель!
I love your intros😂😂
High speed rotating thing!
Gloves!
Excitement!
Dumbass. 🤦♂️
Where does this taliban looking dude get this cool stuff from? Great video! Greetings from Arizona.
No! Clean the connections and cleanly resolder them!!!
всё очень не аккуратно, прям жирный минус!
My gramma mounted a ball motor inside her wooden leg. She uses it to operate a gatlin gun mounted in her other wooden leg.
Looks like it may be spinning backwards lol, smoke and no saw dust is usually a good sign, cool motor though
Kinda amazing the bearings (shaft bushings) are still good.
Use a block when sanding fillers takes less time,nice job
You find the coolest antiques!
Where do you find this stuff? I think my area sucks.
Id love fo sr you have a lathe. Even a mini lathe so you can properly machine the armature and to make small bushings. That would be a handy addition to your hobby.
Typewriter platen rejuvenator on rubber insulators, instead?
Believe I'd want to attach the ground wire under a nearby screw in case that thing has a winding to ground. GFCI, also.
что это?
110v thru 2 rubber insulator washers ??? No way! Electrical safety was nonexistent 100 years ago.
It's not a restoration…
Зачем вообще нужны двигатели такой странной формы?
For what is the motor used for
Какой год выпуска????
What’s the Nutella for lol
Нутелла… нутеллла… где-то я уже это видел…
that moment when you live in chicago
FOR BRASS PLATE SEPARATE LIKE !!!))))) HELLO FROM RUSSIA !!!!
27:36 -сверло крутится в другую сторону! А не – слишком большие обороты! Аффтар балабол…
ahh its a dremel
Wish I had an electric bowling ball
Для чего это мотор создан?
"HP 1/6 of one horse and buggy, RPM? Uhhhh, probably"
Always use a proper box cutter to open your motor
Alles gut und schön ,nur den Erdungsdraht ist hier nicht angeschlossen worden,das muss bei Metalgehäuse aber sein.
That new guy following along at home: “Honey do we have any Nutella?!”
maple syrup looks suspiciously like bourbon….just sayin'….
Шума много, толка мало!
Did that man actually use nutella as a lubricant?
статер?
Its looks like a mini version of the Trinity-Nuke
Can anyone tell me why he put nutella in an electric motor? Im genuinely confused if its actually nutella or a bucket of grease. Someone please explain.
That motor had excellent craftsmanship.
You're very good, but you don't talk much. What do you do with all of these things?
R u a machinists?
The only long intro i don't mind watching again and again. 😂
чтоб соединять провода есть клеммники…
Maravilha esse vídeo 👏👏👏👏
For doing the lettering, you could load some polishing compound–on a sheet of thick single-ply cardboard.
SE VE UN BUEN VIDEO, PERO LO MALO ES QUE EN CASI TODOS ESTE TIPO DE RESTAURACION, CASI NUNCA INDICAN LOS QUÍMICOS O PRODUCTOS UTILIZADOS PARA SU LIMPIEZA O BLANQUEAMIENTO O PINTURAS. SERIA BUENO QUE ESTO SE INDIQUE PARA PODER TENER IDEA QUE DEBO USAR PARA LA LIMPIEZA U QUITAR OXIDO U OTRO MATERIAL DEL APARATO. GRACIAS
Now that guy has some ball(s)
First thing id do: isolate those power points better.

Hammond IN is about a twenty minute drive from my home. I used to go there for auctions. The area is ready and ripe to buy homes low and sell moderately high. Just buy south of 30 and west of 65. Mean price range is around $100K. I used to flip and was interested in buying there before I got ill. There is a plan to bring the trains of Chicago south of Crown Point and on to Lowell. Lowell is very cheap because it is so far from Chicago where most of the good jobs are.
Chicago has a great history of being a hub for the Worlds Fair, meat processing and now finance and television Thanks Oprah*. I hope this tid bit helps someone…just make sure you don't go near the flood plains, check out the local info before buying and make sure the sale isn't a Sheriff's or tax sale because of the drugs that have been wrangled up and cleaned up then for the most part pushed out of the area I suggested. Do your research. No meth labs, raids, unnatural deaths or electric isn't up to snuff…*lol
I found this, along with your video! https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&q=1910s+ball-shaped+motor&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiDoufYwdflAhULEawKHZazAnwQsAR6BAgFEAE&biw=965&bih=621&dpr=1.25#imgrc=VS69Y8R5vQ-QOM:
One thing I love about your videos: silence. No annoying background music or chatter. Just the job at hand.
For anybody wondering what this thing is for:
"Mechanical Vibratory Stimulation for the Treatment of Disease"

Boa noite povo abençoado
Очень приятно за клеммы задеть. Это так ободряет и освежает.
Brass plate looked better as it was, tho.
Komisches Ding, die nackten Klemmen finde ich nicht lustig!
Molto bello questo motore sferico con spazzole cilindriche (mai viste). Forse lo tratti un pò duramente nel restauro. Avrei aggiunto un rivestimento in gomma siliconica ai contatti (110 Volt fanno male).
Comunque, complimenti… like meritato
Very nice this spherical motor with cylindrical brushes (never seen). Perhaps you treat him a little harshly in the restoration. I would have added a silicon rubber coating to the contacts (110 volts are bad).
Anyway, congratulations … deserved like
Nice work, i hadn't seen one of those before so double interesting. Thanks for the share <3
5:38 fine sandpaper
It has left direction of rotation that is why your drill bit was smoking 🙂
You are awesome dude !
Super Restaurator der alles kann und Super Komedie. Danke
My grandfather had one of those sheep shearer. To Bad didn't have the rest. Of it. It was built heavy enough so it doesn't vibrate bounce around..
Do you know what the intended use for these were? Or is it really just a gimmick?
Where do you get your Eastwood products in Canada? I’m trying to find a supplier in Ontario…
