Recently purchased a 1920's Milnes lathe made in Bradford UK. The underbench drive motor is a 1/3rd. hp. 230 V single phase repulsion start induction unit manufactured by the Century Electric Co., St. Louis , Mo. This motor is inoperative, and the internal wiring looks to be in poor condition. Does anyone have an idea of the age of this motor, (ser. no. F923712), and any info. about the Century Electric Co. ? I'd like to get the unit overhauled in due course. I attach a pic of one end of the motor as found.......thanks......John
