Condition very good, nothing missing, both worked and were the same price. . . one is a potted motor and one is a belt driven motor, which would be the better choice and why?
Thanx in advance. Brenda
Jenny at sewclassic has a real good article on that subject.

A potted motor is gear driven and very strong - a belted machine with the right balance wheel could be converted to treadle.
