Obtained 3/2023 in Rochester, NY. PO did not have any history other than being under his workbench for several years. The armature doesn't spin, I took a cursory look inside to see if the issue was obvious. It's not and at the moment I don't have time to explore further. This is a reversible motor. 3/8" Jacobs No. 2A chuck, weighs 15#, catalog says 14#. Price in the 20's was $58 for the model B with the Jacobs geared chuck. In today's dollars that is $900.

About an hour before posting this entry I received 2 screenshots from a Rochester friend asking me if the drill in the photos was mine. Turns out the photos are of another Temco drill located in Saskatoon, CN Serial no. B18745
