SLO-SYN Driving Motor

SLO-SYN Driving Motor

(OP)
I was wondering if anyone can help me here. I am hobbyist that has a Superior Electric, SLO-SYN Driving Motor, 120V, 0.1A, 60cy., 70 RPM, three wires (white: Neutral, Red: CW, and Black: CCW)  I apparently need a phase shift network consisting of a capacitor and a resistor.  I get the idea of what it is doing but don't have the practical knowledge of what size capacitor or what size resistor I need to make this motor start spinning.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thankyou, itsmoked.  I looked under the Superior Electric Company and didn't find a link or know there was a URL for slosyn.com .   

But thankyou very much for your time.

No problem. Glad I could help.shadeshappy

BTW I have a pile of six of those I pulled from a machine I ran controls in.  There was NO sign of a network.  If I pull them out of the cabinet and apply power to them they turn one way or the other depending on whether I apply power to the white and red or the white and black.

It could be they are the type with the internal network/cap?  But I didn't think so.

What I'm saying is your's may work at reduced torque with no network.   Or maybe not.idea

No, I tryed putting power to them and they won't turn.  Just vibrate around on the desk, so I'll have to search for the resistor and capacitor.

Thanks again
