That cabinet is definitely 20th century.
Never seen a motor that will run on both AC and DC current.
Hi Mike,
I agree that the cabinet looks 20th Century, but the high BW statement won’t always hold up if the machine has been modified, especially if it’s been electrified. And many, if not most, early motors marketed in the USA were marked for both AC & DC voltage.
Here’s a couple of photos of an upgraded (electrified) 1904 Singer Model 27 and it’s motor.
