I've restored three of those machines. Don't need any more. Notes:

- One has a Holtzer-Cabot motor. That's a really early model,
   probably from the 1920s.
   One has a governed motor.  The standard synchronous GE motor
   from later machines is compatible. Plan on replacing those
   really old motors. I do have one original Holtzer-Cabot
   motor running, but it did arc over once. Tripped a GFCI.
   Always plug these things into a GFCI.

- Plan on replacing all the original wiring, which is varnished
   cloth and almost certainly cracked. But the wiring layout
   on those is trivial. There's motor power and a current loop;
   that's it.

- Add a fuse on the motor circuit. The original design
   from 1926 lacked one, and protection was apparently supposed to
   be provided by the WU table into which it plugged.
