Figured you guys might be interested in the progress I've made. Got her tins painted and clean up a bit.
Also working on a fun controller for it with Allen Bradley switches and a 30A relay.
Very cool! Love how you painted it.

Did the first test today. That 25A is indeed what it's pulling at full speed. In fact, it maxed out my 30A Fluke when started it up. I'm glad I built my little controller so beefy....
I put the first test on youtube. Hopefully it's ok to post youtube links here:

I'm pretty pleased with how everything turned out. Not sure what I'll do with it now. I don't want to run it a lot because those brushes simply do not exist anymore.
