Title: Voltamp Small Electric Motors
Post by: skeptic49 on March 12, 2022, 08:59:59 am

Here's a video I made a while back of my small collection of Voltamp electric motors.

Thanks for sharing your motors. I have been collecting early toy motors for years. The first motor in you video is very early, and very nice!

That is a really nice trifecta of Voltamp Motors.

Love the motors, and even though the music was quite nice ....... Greensleeves even ........  I'd prefer to have heard the motors better!

Enjoyed the video and it helped me ID a DC motor I just purchased...mine is virtually identical to the smallest of the three you show (3rd example).  Mine is missing the ID plate yours has on the top, hence I had no idea who made it.

cheers,
