I pulled this little "treasure" out of the scrap pile behind the alarm shop at work. It has new bearings, brushes, and is in perfect condition except for the fact that the armature has a short in it somewhere. It has a dual tone cap and a single rotor. It is going to parted out for use in my upcoming Thunderbolt project and I might just go ahead and stick the new armature and 5/6 rotor I have in it.
