[BC] Old flasher motor...

[Gary Peterson]

In cleaning out a transmitter building, I came
across an old, mechanical tower light flasher.
The mercury switch and weatherproof housing are
missing.  There are no markings on it, but it was
probably made by Crouse-Hinds or Hughey &
Phillips.  The motor drove a cam, which rocked the
mercury switch back and forth.    

The motor is a brushless unit, with a coil on each
side of a rotating metal disk.  The wiring from
the two coils and the 0.1 MFD, 400 volt capacitor
is dangling free.

I thought it might be fun to get this old motor
going again, just to show people how it used to be
done.  Where does the capacitor go in the scheme
of things?  Does anyone have a wiring diagram?  I
have not been able to find anything on the
Internet.

Thanks in advance!
