Help with motor ID please.

Post by Phono48 »

Can anyone tell me who made this motor please? The only marks are the "S" in a circle, and the number as shown. It bears a passing resemblance to a Dual motor, in that the the speed control, which is the upstanding circle round the centre spindle, and the gimbal mounting on winding shaft are identical, but there the similarity ends. It is from a Linguaphone portable, which in addition to the trademark in the lid, also has the word "Wennergrens" stamped below and to the right. I need to replace both the fibre gear and the governor assembly, the shaft of which is bent, resulting in a very noticeable "wow". If the parts are not available, then a complete motor would be the answer. Any help would be much appreciated.
