[GreenKeys] My spare motor for Model 15

[Derek Cohn/WB0TUA]

Hi Jim,

I believe my spare motor is being confused with Larry Tighe's motor that he 
is referring to as "Sparkie".

The photo you refer to is my motor and I have not attempted to start it. 
Larry's motor is the one that he is reporting is sparking and generating RF.

Hope that clears things up a bit.
