Old dynamo / motor
« on: November 01, 2021, 11:31:09 am »
Hi all,

I have purchased a dynamo on ebay, it is very detailed and heavy build.
There are no marks of the brand or origin.
The unit is made of cast iron and brass, it even comes with tiny oil ring bearings, which I have never seen before on such a small dynamo.

Is there anybody who can indentify this unit ?

Any info is highly appreciated.


Maurice.

Wow, Very Nice.  I can't help with who made it, but I sure do like it!

Congratulations on your purchase. Unfortunately, I too have no idea who the manufacturer is.

It looks very much like the way Jean schoenner painted his machines, but there is nothing to be found on the internet.
I have bought this dynamo on ebay and it came from France.
The build quality is extremely good, and the oil ring bearings are amazing.

Regards,

Maurice.

LAHMEYER used to build similar motors for MARKLIN...
Maybe he possibly also built for SCHOENNER...?
