Lovely 201. It's a potted motor if it's enclosed in a 'pot' (like yours!) and mounted up high off the back of the machine. It's got to be for the 201s, because a gear comes directly off the motor and into the drive shaft, with no belt whatsoever. It's a gear driven machine. The belt driven machines (not 201s...) have external motors that sit on the base behind the tower, and a belt connects them to the drive shaft.
