[GreenKeys] 35-KSR motors: governed versus synchrous

[Gabriel Egan]

Having just successfully (under Tony Podrasky's careful
emailed guidance) removed the typing unit of my
35-KSR, oiled everything that could conceivable
benefit from lubrication (without getting oil where
I shouldn't), and put the typing unit back without
breaking anything, I now feel rather bold about
doing my own maintenance.

What I really want to do is replace the 120V 60Hz
electric motor with one that will run okay on
120V 50Hz, as I live in England where the supply
is 240V 50Hz. I believe I need a 'governed' motor
that I can simply adjust the speed of rather than
a 'synchronous' motor that takes its timing from
the mains supply frequency.

Does anybody happen to know exactly what Teletype
part number I should be searching for on Ebay to
get a 'governed' rather than a 'synchronous' motor
for my 35?

Regards

Gabriel
