More info on this motor?
(OP)
Can anyone tell if this motor is a TEFC type?
The attached link is to several photos. I'm wondering if the finned outside indicates it is TEFC, or if not, would it be the "open, drip-proof" type?
It does have a fan on one end. Tried to get a photo into the opposite end to see if it's sealed, but not really sure.
I'm really trying to find out what to compare this to to get an idea what a used, good-condition motor like this is worth.
Nameplate Info:
Ajax Electric Motor Corp, Rochester, NY
5HP, 1ph, 230V, 60Hz
Amps 25.0
RPM 1715
Frame 184T
Cont Rating 40degC Max Ambient
Service Factor 1.15
Not sure what else is relevant.
I realize this isn't a very interesting or challenging query, so I really appreciate any and all help.
Thanks

RE: More info on this motor?
Over here in Europe it would be worth a few tens of pounds on ebay, depending on the day and who was bidding. It's at the top end of the size range that hobby / home workshop guys would be interested in, but they are probably the most likely buyers.
