This 1930s Leland Electric Co. throttle variable speed and direction electric motor is one of the coolest tools I have restored.
The restoration was fairly straight forward, but the mechanics of how this works were the most interesting. I give a quick explanation near the end of the video on how I believe this works, but if you specifically know, please leave a comment below.
The tag was in the worst condition I have ever seen, and I’d like to thank @joshsfick on Instagram for once again helping model the tag digitally so I could laser it out.
The wiring was also a larger than usual issue as there was a lot of deterioration.
I could see many use cases for this type of motor and I really wish they were still made like this today.
I’d like to thank @CRCAutoUS for sponsoring this video. I’ve switched to a food-grade penetrating oil from them as a more safe alternative, and it as worked just as well as the usual penetrating oils I’ve used.
You can check out the products from them used in this video in the links below:
