Trying to figure out if the 130/133 is Volts/Cycles.     It looks like the Cycle symbol under the V.  

opinions?

That is the sine wave symbol for Hertz; indeed that is a 130 Volt 133 Hz motor.

  130V, 133Hz...

Since it's a series motor,...
it'll run just fine on bridge
rectified 120V~ 60Hz.

I have a similar situation. Regarding the bridge rectifier, you indicate a 120V rating is sufficient. What amp rating would you suggest?

Would going with a higher rating than 120V cause any harm?

Hey Anthony, is this 10" or 12" fan?

And as a veteran motor winder once said “Half the voltage, half the cycles.” But I’d go with the what Jim said.

I did not get that one but I have 2 Martinot fans.  12" stationary and 10" oscillator
