Not a lot of Weeden Motors around on the forums, though I suppose because they aren't steam engines. I have a Weeden #1, as you guys may recall, with its wood box. I love my little #1 that's for sure.
Anyways, I just won a Weeden No. 112 Motor on eBay that is in pretty good shape. I'd image with it having all its little pulleys, that makes it a bit rarer. I don't actually expect it to be all that powerful and having all those pulleys has to be overkill. I saw that @Jim has a #106, which is a superior motor over the #112 (which is like my #1 motor but with overhead pulleys).
Anyways, here is a photo of the #112 from the eBay sell and I look forward to getting a YouTube up for it!

It is definitely a motor.
Weeden Made 15 different electric motors.
Weeden No. 1; 101; 102; 103; 104; 105; 106; 107; 109; 110; 111; 112; 112-114; and 117.
I believe that this one is a Weeden No. 101 (the replacement for the Weeden No. 1). It was produced from 1912-1918. Flywheel is 2 1/2" in diamater, base is 6" x 4".
See the attached description from Ken Trobaugh's Weeden Book.

I agree with Jan; it's a motor. Nice one, too.

That is a beautiful little thingie that one :)
I believe that this one is exclusively a motor, since it doesn´t appear to have permanent magnets.

I guess Boss I don't know still playing with it never saw one like it before

That's certainly a cool looking dynamo.
I gather it can be used as either a motor or a generator?
Is that a cast lead pulley wheel like so many Weeden products have?
