Dear Sean,
Thank you for your response, though it was thin on answers. Having been manufactured "prior to 1972", I understand if the manuals may have not been digitized. As the pictures show, the motor has been well cared for, and the bearing spins easily with a two-fingered flick of the wrist. If you cannot provide me with a user manual, I can get by. But there are other details that require attention.
This motor is older than I, and manufacturing standards & practices were different in that day & age. I need to know if this motor contains any amount of Asbestos? According to Wikipedia, Asbestos reached peak production in the U.S. in '73 (and is still not outright banned, but restricted & regulated). Considering the health implications, I put this information at a rather high priority.
Sincerely,
Chris R.
Which reminds me: one person mentioned concern over the state of the bearing. It spins 'smooth as silk.
