It was working when removed from standard 240V in, and note it only has two input wires (red and black), so this now makes sense. I can test it again, or show inside the junction box if any prospective buyers wish to have more detail.
Very heavy, yet only rated at 2 BHP according to the spec plate - I suspect the windings will last for centuries they don't make motors like they used to! Used to drive a large indoor organ blower (see my other listings). Would make an excellent drive motor for a vintage or antique workshop mchine tool or similar. Collection in person from a few miles west of Ludlow (Shropshire).
