The MODERN fan speed control is designed to run on MODERN AC wall current. Your half-wave diode will be inline AFTER the MODERN AC fan speed control direct to the motor. Think of it in common sense terms of what needs the half-wave diode to slow it down on rectified DC current? The motor needs the diode, not the speed control. Good luck. Quote

Good luck on that one. 🙂 Patience and time provided this one many years ago Russ. I cloned the wire and installed a new correct looking harness. Quote

Tony Clayton Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Bingo. That's where I got my foot pedal. Quote

Trevor Andersen Posted January 6 Posted January 6 So this is what I get on high. I think with a little adjustment it should be closer to spec. 2 Quote

It's just a cheap unit from Amazon I slapped into a gang box and mounted to a piece of wood I can clamp down where ever I need it. Going to make a cleaner looking one with a 2nd unit. I didn't remember I had them until I saw another member with one and dug into my pile of stuff I "needed" but forgot about. Quote

Tony Clayton Posted February 1 Posted February 1 One more. This one has wound many a bobbin making wire for years, until the new winder. I still use it for rayon and silk. Quote
Martin Carena-Santiago Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Found my Western Electric a few years ago at an antique shop with the blade for $15...sadly no cage though. 2 Quote
Anthony Lindsey Posted February 1 Posted February 1 This is for sale not far away. Only the motor though. https://offerup.com/item/detail/968a6b04-c029-3c34-99de-07594e184b42?q=antique+electric+motor Quote
