Original motor is on top.

If the motor in the bottom of the picture is the one you bought from Dennis Waldron, then it is not a 50’s vintage “ original high stack” ...the motor pictured has caps on the brushes, and a lamp for fire box glow.....those are characteristics of an LTI vintage motor.....LTI put caps across the motor brush leads in an attempt to filter out “motor noise” for the earliest railsounds systems......I’m talking about electrical noise that would be picked up by the RS system and transmitted through the speaker....not the mechanical noises these motors make,....there ain’t no fixing that, but why would you??....that’s part of the charm ...no??.....
