Hi Bob
Cracking job.
I recognise the electric motor, BTW. It's a TRIX Permag ..

[insert ageist electricity joke here] :wave:
Nice little motor Bob, that would be a great teaching aid, they just don't make toys like they used to (except for BigTrak).

Are you sure it's not a generator from David's childhood?
Little Davy frantically cranking the handle to power the wireless and listen to the "Ink spots" deliver their newest hits through his Bakelite headphones! :lol:
Well I give it a go.... I'm kinda bored!

lol don.t think it will generate any thing but will give it a go thought he still had a Cristal set

I used to listen to "Journey Into Space", on my crystal set.........
That were a while ago! :scratch:

Crystal set.... Never got mine to work :scratch:
Stripped for parts :lol:

My set was an Ivalek. Not much cop, until a school pal squeezed in a home made coil...... :thumbup:

Nice little motor Bob,
i belive that i have 2 of them still about somewhere in the attic. they were originally fitted in model motor torpedo boat built for me by my father when i was about 8yrs old the boat is still about and in reasonable condition. not bad to say im 61 now. Dont know if anyone can remember the batteries it ran on, they were made by ever ready and were about 6ins by 4ins by 3/4 of an inch wide with a row of jack plug like holes on the 6 by 3/4 side which gave various voltages up to i think 6v max. the boat ran as a straight runner at the time, though i converted it to single screw single motor and radio control years ago, the old Mc Greggor Digi Max 2 channel. never ever seen any other batteries like those, anyone shed any light on them. So to speak.

All sorts of strange batteries around years ago. I remember an Eveready ( 753 756 ?? ) 90V ht battery for valve portables.
The one you had may well have been for the LT ( valve heaters ), some were low voltage like 2.5V or 1.5V etc.
Although they mostly had rechargeable accumulators for that job. Doubt if there'd be much guts in a dry battery.
It was the DF series valves ... eg DF91 etc. not that anyones interested ... :lol:
http://www.r-type.org/pdfs/df91.pdf
Although according to that the heaters on this valve only took 50mA .
Long time ago ..

ZZZZZZZ's I think ... :thumbup:

ooo don.t get me started i will post off topic

Battery was a "Grid Bias" 1.5 to 9 volts in 1.5 volt steps. Great for controlling motor Speed-Torque output Just stick the "Banana Jack Plug" in the Voltage required.
As for a date on the motor I had one bought in the late 1940s used it to power "Meccano" models.
The pinion gear meshed to a 57 tooth meccano gear gave a reasonable amount of torque and the sprocket fitted Meccano Drive Chain.
Never had much success with the chain drive.
Eric
As for using it as a DC generator not much use with only three armature coils

Thanks Velocette,
Googled Grid Bias Battery and got the details and a pic.
Sorry Bob for going off topic.

krv 3000,
that motor is a rare bird! it is a TRIX motor, from a trix construction set, like early meccano, lots of stuff on google about TRIX, I actually used to have one when I was a kid about 50 years ago lol.
