My suggestion for a rare machine like this is to just list it on ebay. Nobody can give an accurate offer on this because of it's rarity. Start at a low opening bid, and let the market decide.

Now, if only you had a "spare" Edison treadle base...

I've enlarged the photo and I see no motor. The motor would be below the table top. Perhaps there is another photo? - or possibly what is referred to as a motor here is actually the governor? Very interesting machine! I would very much like to see more detailed photos on this.

Enlarge it again and look below the nickel plated drive pulley. You can clearly see the commutator and armature windings.

I'm one of the members who inquired about this through email and the additional pictures sent to me definitely show a class M motor under the top works.

I see what you mean - a little bit of motor peeking thorough. Thanks!

Why can't we get those pictures on this post so that we all don't have to ask for them individually driving the seller nuts with requests?

Since you listed it here for sale, do you mind saying what you sold it for?
