Old Player Piano Motor Found in My Hay Mow
By John Dewey

While looking for something else in my old dead player parts I came
across what I think is the motor out of a reproducing player, made
by Holtzer-Cabot Electric Co.

It's about 6 inches high and about 6-3/4 inches long from the end
of the bearing housing to the end of the other bearing housing, with
about 3/4 inch of a 1/2-inch diameter shaft sticking out.

Pictures of the data plate and the motor are attached.
