Can you identify this motor?

I recently purchased this motor as well as the tonearm & reproducer. I know it is from a Victor Orthophonic, but is a single spring motor. By the length of the crank, I would think it was a console. After replacing the governor, it works just fine. Any ideas?

This motor was used in the (early production) Consolette, the Colony, the 1-90, and in the 7-11 combination. The long buckled crank suggests that your motor originally was fitted to a Colony.

Thank you. This one had me stumped.

Uncle V.,

Can you comment on the purpose of these two machined(?) grooves?
