The motor was meant to be used in professional studio tape recorders.
It has dual bronze sleeve bearings and a hard chrome plated capstan, long enough for one inch tape.
The capstan diameter measures .4775 inches which suggests 600 RPM for a tape speed of 15"per second. The second speed may be 1200 RPM.
The motor runs on 115VAC-60 Hz and it requires two capacitors, one for each speed.
To make sure it runs, I'll buy the two capacitors and include them in the sale.
I don't think the motor was ever used because there is no hint of tape oxide having rubbed off on the capstan. I think it was a sample motor from Papst to the Scully Recording Instruments Company.
As yet, I'll have to figure out the wire connections.

Thanks,

Ralf
