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.
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.

I'm learning machinist skills on metal lathes and mills that were manufactured in the 40s. They would survive EMP and all those cnc button pushers wouldn't know what to do!
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.
awesome stuff! do you use heat shrink tubing that's lined with heat-activated epoxy? it was a real game changer for me! much more secure way to keep wires from straining at the joint.
I would recommend grounding that motor. Find a good place for the ground wire. They didn't understand grounding back then. One of the safest things you can do. Cool video! Cool motor!
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.
Same here, wouldn't have altered it, but i understand why he did, it sure turned out good. They made quality machines and tools back in the day, yet another fine example, great restoration
Those ball type motors a super cool and quite rare. I found two smaller ones in an old homemade electric train from the 20’s and sold them for more then $1000 as the guy just wanted the motors. Nice job!
GotF was funnier in season 1 , now he makes a ton of money per episode and I feel like hes really just phoning it in . Most eps he just lays there ..wasted talent .
This has to be one of the top coolest motors and intricate restorations I have ever seen! What a great job you this on this one bud! I can't get over the form factor of this odd and interesting cool little motor. 🙂👍
🔵 Instead of the crocus-cloth I use industrial Scotch-Brite on the commutator & usually finish up a job like that with a brush-seating-stone and then at LEAST 1/2-hour (maybe more) running at half-power to properly 'Face' the brushes, Then another 1/2-hour at full power to evenly 'Shade' the armature,... this reduces arcing and possible lifting of the commutator-segments from excessive Heat. Just for safety sake, it might have also been a good idea to put insulating-sleeves on the brass-incoming-power-bolts, without them it would only take a good-smack from the side to move the energized-bolt into contact with the motor housing (which could pose a possible shock hazard). I've been rebuilding unusual motors both vintage and recent since 1965, and it's great to watch someone else with diligence, dedication and attention-to-detail perform a job like this (and I've seen a-LOT of half-assed and bungled attempts in my years!). ......Such XLnt-work!

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 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.
Looks like something a dentist in the 1920's would use with a belt-driven flex arm on it to drill teeth. So putting a modern flex shaft on the motor is probably very close to how it was used.
@@Shrike0064 I hope more folks will get the reference... thanks for the acknowledgement! And yes, I saw Empire in the theater, 1979... what a trip... Summer, and then a cold theater with popcorn and Coke... Great memory.
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!!!
To anybody curious, yes this is for THAT kind of vibrator. The "treatment" was originally an outpatient procedure to relieve 'feminine hysteria'. Most of them look more at home in a garage than up a girl's squishy bits.
Verny nice job & video . I remember these on old Dentist drills, they used a drive cable much like the one you use and were controlled by a variable speed foot pedal . -Nate
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
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!
Amazing how old stuff survives the test of time, would be interested to see what the output is (fluid dyno) for the win and sure you will sell for a mint
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!
That is one of the coolest looking pieces of machinery I have ever seen!! I know it's a restoration but since you went so far as putting that clear access plate on it you should have added a little led in there... VERY FINE JOB INDEED Any idea of this motor's original/intended use?
That's not a maybe, it WILL make it safer. In the event a ground isn't avaliable, make sure the neutral (white) wire is what you touch. If you look up diagrams for breaker panels (main panel, not sub panel) the ground is tied to neutral and provide a quick, low reistance path neutral and hot to short circuit which trips the breaker. It's best to test with gfci when possible, even a small current on ground would trip the breaker.
@@bairfamilyfarm1336 Agree but I was refering to the earth ground, the copper rod in the ground or what ever ground available in you sector like grid , wet. floting ground.etc
you would think so but actually it's not a good idea. did you see how wobbly his chuck was? (he even mentioned it in the video) AFAIK drill presses aren't designed for side loads, you'll wear out the bearings much quicker than normal which is not a nice thing to happen to your drill press. (try drilling precise holes with a wobbly chuck)
Actually, it probably is. Vibrators (sex toys) were invented as a medical device because a cure for "hysteria" in women was supposed to be to induce an orgasm. Prior to the invention of the vibrator, doctors performed this service manually. As you might imagine, doctors ended up doing this a lot and got hand strain. No, really!
@@the-potato-warrior You'd have to modify the armature windings, so that you can reverse the armature current but not the field current to make the motor reversible (I assume this is a universal motor).

Lol, that hilarious intro was so 80's, like some sort of family sit-com thing; definitely gave me some nostalgia though.
It was like a combo of a sitcom and Bob Ross.
Spheriusly awesome! This hand tool should be rated X...that was a dirty ball!!!🤣😂🤣😂
Underrated comment
It says in description it's a medical vibrator😂 what kind of hospital could this be . I know the hospital of Dr Jones.
@@birddog9708 I googled those words... The results are what you might expect. Although I don't think those things are medical, they certainly are therepeutic. However... when scrolling through the results.... this one is there too :-D
Still don't know what the thing you described looks like though...

A well oiled ball at that. xD
Brilliant videos. The right pace, not too much jaw-jaw, great skills, humour, detail. The benchmark in how to do a resto vid.
Is it spinning bass ackwards? Looked like it was burning holes not drilling them 🤷🏻♂️ I’ve been wrong 2+2B4
Actually it was. Lol. Watch at 27:44 to 27:47. You can see the bit spinning backwards when it shuts off.
Hehe that's why the disc flew off.
Never seen anything like it before wow great rescue
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.
That is a dental drive motor off a Ritter dental chair. Scary stuff. Vibrates your head like crazy.
Fred ok that explains what the heck this cool and weird looking motor was actually used for other than chucking into the ocean to blow up ships.
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.
That's a heck of a stator! Very well built motor.
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.
Looks like something a dentist in the 1920's would use with a belt-driven flex arm on it to drill teeth. So putting a modern flex shaft on the motor is probably very close to how it was used.
It IS doctor equipment but not a dentist it was used for treating Hystaria in Women
AKA it is a vibrator
"The new interrogator droid is ready, Lord Vader."
"Very well. Bring it to Block AA-23, cell 2187. We shall see what the Princess can tell us..."
@@Shrike0064 I hope more folks will get the reference... thanks for the acknowledgement! And yes, I saw Empire in the theater, 1979... what a trip... Summer, and then a cold theater with popcorn and Coke... Great memory.
ru referring to movie "Hysteria" perhaps xD
Awesome!!
It looks just like it!
Great comment, you would think this would be the top comment
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!!!
To anybody curious, yes this is for THAT kind of vibrator. The "treatment" was originally an outpatient procedure to relieve 'feminine hysteria'. Most of them look more at home in a garage than up a girl's squishy bits.
Did it help? nope
Actually probably not true, more of an urban legend that took off: www.bbc.com/future/article/20181107-the-history-of-the-vibrator
That's why he had a Dremel attached to it.
🤔🤔🤔
now i wonder how long has it been since someone actually *used* it
Squishy bits🤣those little Chinese balls were a bit bigger back then🏃♀️🏃♀️I need it 🔫were is it I need it🌑aaa my squishler😂
Verny nice job & video .
I remember these on old Dentist drills, they used a drive cable much like the one you use and were controlled by a variable speed foot pedal .
-Nate
the most striking thing about old machines is that you can tell they wanted it to be EASY to disassemble with hand tools everyone has.
Nice naval mine restoration! Do you think it holds enough explosive to sink a modern-day ship?
I was thinking while watching the video that if I ever ran across a motor like that I would think it was a land mine.
You crack us up! Loved the vid. Seriously though - that motor was used by dentists wayyyy back in the day
That would be creepy to see first thing coming out of global anesthetic.
I knew a kid that could drill holes in reverse, we all enjoyed watching his impressive achievements. 🤣😂
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.
We must put about 2 lbs of c4 in the thing and see what happens 😈
Looks like a motor to me...
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!
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!
No music! Hooray!
Fascinating.......I’ve never seen one of those before 😃
Amazing how old stuff survives the test of time, would be interested to see what the output is (fluid dyno) for the win and sure you will sell for a mint
Most old stuff doesn't survive the test of time - survivor bias is the term used to describe people's belief that this is true.
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!
The 90's into is amazing. You earned a sub just for that!
0:00 - I remember that show; I used to watch it on CBC in the 80's, it was on Saturday mornings, right after _The Edison Twins_ . 👍
I recognized the tune form some 80s show, but I can't remember WHAT show XD … which one was it?
That is one of the coolest looking pieces of machinery I have ever seen!!
I know it's a restoration but since you went so far as putting that clear access plate on it you should have added a little led in there...
VERY FINE JOB INDEED
Any idea of this motor's original/intended use?
The most "steam punk" thing I've ever seen, IRL. Nice!
Was just thinking this!
Makes me want to watch Steamboy
electro punk
Kinda amazing the bearings (shaft bushings) are still good.
That was so cool. Glad you had the Nutella on hand, who knows what would have happened if you hadn't!!
Oh how i love the crazy antics ol' maple syrup gets into,hes such a character!
You should wire an LED light inside so you can see through the clear plate.
YES! Excellent idea.
So I must ask what was this most interesting ball motor used for ?
Please tell us
THANKS for the interesting videos.
Nice work maybe you could ground the green wire on the main body on the motor much safer this way.
That's not a maybe, it WILL make it safer. In the event a ground isn't avaliable, make sure the neutral (white) wire is what you touch. If you look up diagrams for breaker panels (main panel, not sub panel) the ground is tied to neutral and provide a quick, low reistance path neutral and hot to short circuit which trips the breaker. It's best to test with gfci when possible, even a small current on ground would trip the breaker.
@@bairfamilyfarm1336 Agree but I was refering to the earth ground, the copper rod in the ground or what ever ground available in you sector like grid , wet. floting ground.etc
Enjoyed how he waved off the lack of a ground connection for the green .. Things were "at your own risk " those years ago.
*That's Cool!!!*
I have had LOTS of Antique Motor's but never one so _"ball-shaped"_ LOL!
DUH..I never thought of using a drill press for a wire wheel. I learned something new today!
you would think so but actually it's not a good idea. did you see how wobbly his chuck was? (he even mentioned it in the video) AFAIK drill presses aren't designed for side loads, you'll wear out the bearings much quicker than normal which is not a nice thing to happen to your drill press. (try drilling precise holes with a wobbly chuck)
Your knowledge is amazing and your presentation is hilarious. I really enjoy your videos !
Hello
can you explain quickly why you choose this spread @ 16:25 ?
Nutella?
Lol. Haha
Dont read the label.
Dont read the label
Seriously though why nutella?? No way that's any sort of grease. The color is identical to nutella.
You sure find some old relics! Wild man..and you can bowl with it.
The greatest channel of TH-cam. TH-cam 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
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.
I have never before subscribed to a channel based solely on the intro. Well played sir!
that intro lmao. it screams early 90s instructional videos
directed by angus macgyver
I tried Googling Cologne Vibrator, the results were NOT what I was after!
Then you pulled your pants down and said. Aw shit here we go again.
@@bryanotero123 same old shit dog just a different day 😂
Actually, it probably is. Vibrators (sex toys) were invented as a medical device because a cure for "hysteria" in women was supposed to be to induce an orgasm. Prior to the invention of the vibrator, doctors performed this service manually. As you might imagine, doctors ended up doing this a lot and got hand strain.
No, really!
@@Shridra were do I sign up to be a wank doctor
@@vasili1207 haha, well, first you'd have to invent time travel...
I enjoy the playfulness that you incorporate into your videos!
With a name like Hand Tool Rescue you picked a good concept for this channel.
Motor also spins the wrong way for drilling, which is why you were cooking bits instead of actually drilling.
draggonhedd ?
You can switch the leads to change direction.
Or buy left handed drills
@@the-potato-warrior If neither of those work, you can always just turn the bit upside-down.
@@the-potato-warrior You'd have to modify the armature windings, so that you can reverse the armature current but not the field current to make the motor reversible (I assume this is a universal motor).
Love it how he just puts whatever chemical on top of wooden table.. Hammers his hand to close the bomb.. several times.. Thumbs up!
How many times did you spin that thing until it stops with the label in front of the camera.😉
Tell us the truth...😋
However, well done as usual!
I swear only once. My SKILLZ are unmatched.
Hand Tool Rescue is this a bet
@@rugger8787 You've never played spin the 100 year old vibrator motor?
@@HandToolRescue haha so that is what this was made for.
@@Bill23799 was
I wonder if you adapt the output to run a Dremel flex adapter?
Didn't you see the ending?
That’s... literally exactly what he did
what a job, very good, a ball motor, I wonder how it was situated to provide the power to the vibrator.
Fascinating! I've never heard of a ball motor. That's just wild.
Is this a 1910 hall engine, or, a early attempt to create the Sputnic satilite?
