It was still slow, removed the brushes and recleaned them, and removed some little brass washers the previous owner stuck between springs and brush caps. Testing with a photo tachometer, I got the speed with the clutch disengaged at
1200 rpm and engaged at [ATTACH=CONFIG]454365[/ATTACH]
For comparison I checked a couple 15-91's and a 15-88 and a 1934 FW. Guess which one ran the fastest?! (Hint -not the 201-2)
It gets going faster the longer its running, but it's a long ways from 1200SPM. And t head itself turns very freely, been thoroughly TF'd). I'm going to order brushes from Sew-Classics and see how it does.
