[Milsurplus] Re: Help I.D.ing a dynamotor

[Mike Hanz]

   +285  is the common voltage used on most of the interphone amps during
   the  war,  John.   They  needed  a little extra oomph to get the power
   output up.  They frequently have a command set style base which allows
   them  to  be  plugged  into  the  back of the command receivers, but I
   wouldn't want to use them like that for very long these days.

 I received a dynamotor tie-wrapped to the back of a Commnand Set, but I don't
think it was originally for the command set series. It's a Westinghouse style
1171187A. Stamped on the side is M-254009-1 and D-101. Two wires come out the
bottom that terminate in spade lugs. The output voltage is 285vdc, which is a
little higher than the normal command set dynamotor voltage. Anyone have any
ideas on what this unit goes with???
