a real Frankenstein motor with those exposed screw-in type power connectors. I just love screw in type on-body connectors like that with motor casing being made of real cast iron, all curvy and round with a nice cast base. I have a 1917 ritter dental compressor and the motor on that is just gorgeous, so is the 2 cylinder compressor!
Reminds me of my apprenticeship as an auto electrician in the eighties. A neat trick for what you are doing is to give the casing a center punch pop at each joint so you orientate the housings the original way they came apart as some can be trickily designed. Good effort.

The Hotel Des Artistes (which like the Plaza Hotel) had many permanent residents. Some apartments were still wired DC in early seventies. We were doing some work in Mayor John Lindsay's apt and they asked me to do some handy work in this elderly woman's apt. When I entered I noticed something strange about the lighting, on a hunch I asked if this was a DC apt. before I plugged in my drill, it was and she had me go to the basement a borrow a AC/DC drill from the super. That drill was huge and weighed a ton it had planetary reduction gears I had to use two hands and when you let go of the trigger and set it down the drill kept turning for at least a minute, slow rpm but still powerful. The super told me that Con Edison still supplied DC to a few older buildings.

They did understand grounding back then. But that was used for real dangerous stuff only. 110Vac was not considered as dangerous, real men had to endure touching it if they must touch it in the first place.

I would say that those oilers for the spindle came from the factory with some type of wick and Singer Sewing Machine Oil for lubrication. I am basing my assumption on a very old Westinghouse Black and Brass desk fan I have. They were marketed as a three speed (the first and second contacts were actually one so some deceptive marketing way back in the late 1800's.) They were called The Tank of fans if I'm not mistaken. Mine is a pre-1900 model and runs like a champ. But that is surprisingly how the spindle oilers were on those. I would love to see a restoration on one of those.
Grabbed an antique dental drill the other day, previous owner had converted it from pedal drive and added one of these! Finally I can do my own restoration!!!
If I remember correctly from my trade school days, this motor type is c all a UNIVERSAL motor. Meaning it can run A/C or D/C. Which makes it easier to regulate the speed (RPM's). Also the name plate has some time relevant traits. Such (VTS) for volts. And no Rpm's marked. Finally one would think the frame style should be "R" for round.
NEMA was founded 1926, and this motor design falls before then - frames were whatever the manufacturer decided to call them. I like the grease fittings on this - old school clever that just needed a tenth of a turn once in a while to keep it lubed.
@Meghnad (Who roars like thunder behind the clouds) For a long while these were almost everywhere. Blenders and simple drills, fans... anything common and cheap would be a series wound motor. Dremels still are.
@Meghnad (Who roars like thunder behind the clouds) I said that - - These Uni motors can't have PM in them because the AC would demagnetize them. The stator electromagnets are CONNECTED in series with the rotor electromagnets
Well, add that to my list of "Now I have seen it all", gadgets tools and whats it's. Again, thanks for sharing this great video. Looking forward to the next whats it.....Ken
I wonder if the ball motor was for functionality purposes or cosmetic. I looked up "japanning" on the internet. I learned something new, today. Thank you.
Pretty interresting machine. Glad that you bought it and restored it. That plexiglass idea was great one. I had no idea what used for. But thanks for outro, now i know. That opening intro is pretty funny. I like 90's theme. EMMY AWARD FOR Gabrage on the Floor! Great video, enjoyed it.
i know it's old news and you've probably heard this before but what i've found that works really well for restoring rubber is to completely submerge it in armorall and let it sit. i restored a bunch of rubber parts from a 54 chevy like that that were so hard they were almost like plastic. 24 hours in the armorall and they all turned out soft and pliable like new.
I should have known better than to watch an HTR video while hungry... Only makes me hungrier with all that Nutella, Maple Syrup and Garbage on the Floor. Thanks for bringing back that awesome intro though ;)
I realize this is an older video, and I don't know how I missed. But the exposed 115 volt input terminals is very interesting to see. And the cannon ball shape is also interesting as well. Just when you think you've seen everything... Thumbs Up!
Instead of wrapping heat shrink with electrical tape to ensure a fully closed insulation - if you pinch it with pliers while still hot/warm it will adhere to itself. (leave the tubing longer than the wires and pinch the area beyond the conductor) If your goal was to simply secure the heat shrink... you need a smaller gauge or one that shrinks more and secures itself through friction alone.
That is really cool. I have never seen a ball motor at it all. It was super cool to see the restoration. There are a bunch of different things this could be used for. I would add a digital RPM display and a different type of mount. that it a very useful motor!
I was waiting for the 80’s transformers music to start playing “the touch” when you pulled that apart, just like when Hot Rod pulled apart the matrix of leadership.
I started to cringe when he tried to force the part from the shaft. And also when he took to that coarse file. But I do not agree with using sandpaper. In order to remove protruding shaft material that may scar the bearing it is better to use a fine single-cut file applied with rotating strokes applied tangentially to the shaft.
@@VerifyVeracity The surface of a motor shaft often gets deformed for example by set screws. This motor is equipped with friction bearings and they can be harmed by such deformations when you disassemble the motor. It is difficult to remove such uprisings by sandpaper, much easier with a suitable file, not a rasp.
@@VeritasPraevalebit well, does make sense, I could see using the right 'suitable file' for removing the set screw deformation for sure, & I have done that a few times, it's just not what he was doing in the video, or at least I did not see that he was. :) Right now I'm watching a video about brazing using a TIG welder. ruclips.net/video/jM2_LBvzg6c/видео.html
I personally would have used a light Scotch Brite type of pad on the shaft and commutator (in his scenario) than any sandpaper or file, no matter how fine. Much more gentle and gradual on the piece, not so aggressive and looks more polished.
Going to guess it may have been used for early dentistry, by the image (link) you attached in the description. So interesting. Love your channel! Binging it all day.
Damnit! I was so impressed you didn’t clean the commutator...until you cleaned the commutator 😭 NSTM Chapter 300, the “bible” for US Navy motor maintenance says commutator film is your friend! Friend good. Conductivity yesssss. Seriously cool motor tho. Great work!
Thank you for making another great video as usual. I had an idea that might help you remove paint/corrosion from small areas with precision. Fiberglass pen. I hope it might help you in the future

Oh how i love the crazy antics ol' maple syrup gets into,hes such a character!
No music! Hooray!
Fascinating.......I’ve never seen one of those before 😃
That was so cool. Glad you had the Nutella on hand, who knows what would have happened if you hadn't!!
The greatest channel of RUclips. RUclips deserves 1.000.000 subscribers. By the way, the intro needs more WD40 😂
Pfff 1,000,000 subs? I am after that 1 billion subs goal once I get all the insects to subscribe.
Hand Tool Rescue lifes in pewdiepie
Pretty interresting machine. Glad that you bought it and restored it. That plexiglass idea was great one.
I had no idea what used for. But thanks for outro, now i know.
That opening intro is pretty funny. I like 90's theme.
EMMY AWARD FOR Gabrage on the Floor!
Great video, enjoyed it.
That motor had excellent craftsmanship.
Dang, that thing looks like it was dredged up from Rapture 😁
Would you kindly restore it?

Captain America meme "I get that reference!"
That's what I was thinking! It looks so cool!
What's Rapture ? Beyond the fictional Bible sense ?
@@chrismsmalley2626 He's referring to an underwater city from the BioShock games
Its like a miniature bathysphere!
that intro lmao. it screams early 90s instructional videos

i know it's old news and you've probably heard this before but what i've found that works really well for restoring rubber is to completely submerge it in armorall and let it sit. i restored a bunch of rubber parts from a 54 chevy like that that were so hard they were almost like plastic. 24 hours in the armorall and they all turned out soft and pliable like new.
I should have known better than to watch an HTR video while hungry... Only makes me hungrier with all that Nutella, Maple Syrup and Garbage on the Floor.
Thanks for bringing back that awesome intro though ;)
Womankind will be forever grateful for your efforts....... now.... where's that antique 'Medical Appliance' catalogue gone? 😊
I realize this is an older video, and I don't know how I missed. But the exposed 115 volt input terminals is very interesting to see. And the cannon ball shape is also interesting as well. Just when you think you've seen everything... Thumbs Up!
The wear on that eyehook suggests that this thing got quite a workout back in the day.!
Believe me when I say it really did
Instead of wrapping heat shrink with electrical tape to ensure a fully closed insulation - if you pinch it with pliers while still hot/warm it will adhere to itself. (leave the tubing longer than the wires and pinch the area beyond the conductor) If your goal was to simply secure the heat shrink... you need a smaller gauge or one that shrinks more and secures itself through friction alone.
That is really cool. I have never seen a ball motor at it all. It was super cool to see the restoration. There are a bunch of different things this could be used for. I would add a digital RPM display and a different type of mount. that it a very useful motor!
Almost blew coffee through my nose because of your intro....subscribed :)
I know i do love that cheesy grin he makes its awesome
Kinda amazing the bearings (shaft bushings) are still good.
First one I've ever seen! What a cool motor!
That is a dental drive motor off a Ritter dental chair. Scary stuff. Vibrates your head like crazy.
Thanks I watched the video just to figure out what it was
Exactly. Way before the invention of the water cooled, air driven turbine. Torturous to be a dental patient back then.
Okay, I stand corrected - I thought it was used on the other end. Don't get hysterical on me now.
Yeah, that makes sense. I taught I had saw something similar to it on old, old ceiling fans.
Apparently similar motors were also used on "medical vibrators" at the time
I never saw a ball motor rebuild, enjoyed your video very much, thank you...!!!😎
I've never seen a ball motor !
I was waiting for the 80’s transformers music to start playing “the touch” when you pulled that apart, just like when Hot Rod pulled apart the matrix of leadership.
Never forget Orson wells last preformance was a a planet that ate other planets.
Love EvapoRust!!! And, that is a kickass Dremel motor.
I have this sudden urge to read a 'Spy vs. Spy' comic, in MAD Magazine.
Nice restoration, BTW.
Yes, and the narration was right on point also.
Very well done and a very rare motor indeed!
The slapping of it was really a must I was wishing I could literally right before you did 😂😂
@ 5:46 I cringed when you took a file to the shaft, I always use some fine sandpaper. I really like the motor, great job, thanks for the upload.
I started to cringe when he tried to force the part from the shaft. And also when he took to that coarse file. But I do not agree with using sandpaper. In order to remove protruding shaft material that may scar the bearing it is better to use a fine single-cut file applied with rotating strokes applied tangentially to the shaft.
@@VeritasPraevalebit I do understand not using sandpaper but I just do it lightly.
@@VerifyVeracity The surface of a motor shaft often gets deformed for example by set screws. This motor is equipped with friction bearings and they can be harmed by such deformations when you disassemble the motor. It is difficult to remove such uprisings by sandpaper, much easier with a suitable file, not a rasp.
@@VeritasPraevalebit well, does make sense, I could see using the right 'suitable file' for removing the set screw deformation for sure, & I have done that a few times, it's just not what he was doing in the video, or at least I did not see that he was. :) Right now I'm watching a video about brazing using a TIG welder. ruclips.net/video/jM2_LBvzg6c/видео.html
I personally would have used a light Scotch Brite type of pad on the shaft and commutator (in his scenario) than any sandpaper or file, no matter how fine. Much more gentle and gradual on the piece, not so aggressive and looks more polished.
I can’t get over this channel bro!
My first time visiting this channel and I subbed just for the intro. Look forward to seeing more of your content.
The most "steam punk" thing I've ever seen, IRL. Nice!
Was just thinking this!
Makes me want to watch Steamboy
electro punk
WOW!!! Glad I looked at this video. I've never even heard of a ball motor let alone seen one!
I'm deeply in love with your opening
@ yes
With a name like Hand Tool Rescue you picked a good concept for this channel.
Going to guess it may have been used for early dentistry, by the image (link) you attached in the description. So interesting. Love your channel! Binging it all day.
It was a vibrator. Yes, that kind :D
Should have put an LED light behind the glass, pointed to the engine :). So you could really see it operate
Damnit! I was so impressed you didn’t clean the commutator...until you cleaned the commutator 😭 NSTM Chapter 300, the “bible” for US Navy motor maintenance says commutator film is your friend! Friend good. Conductivity yesssss. Seriously cool motor tho. Great work!
Its not a motor... its a vibrator... literally it was used to treat female hysteria...
Your work is inspiring and all, but that 80s sitcom intro is what got you the subscribe.
Haha thanks!
That intro just made me hit the bell! Already subbed but damn love that!
lol same its so hilarious and heart warming.. Makes you get the 80s vibe going
Gets old
@@Tony-wm1oc Still love it lol.
That thing reminds me of Steamboy
It looks like...
a mine!
I had to scroll a little too far to find this comment.
Steamboy was the very first thing I thought of.
Looks like a motor to me...
That is a very cool little motor !!!
Thank you for making another great video as usual.
I had an idea that might help you remove paint/corrosion from small areas with precision.
Fiberglass pen. I hope it might help you in the future
Great idea!
