I think I may have posted on FB, but that's a Classic CM 460 by the CM 450 box.
 
A CM 450 would be endbell drive.

HI Miguel,

 

That is a very nice collection you have - I like it!!

 

Will you be able to show us the items you have in "the other box" please?

 

That would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you for sharing.

Good subject Miguel, and one of my favorite collecting (and racing...) interests. 

 

Would be interested in seeing that Champion 704 if possible - it's one of the rarer ones! 

 

Will try to add some later tonight or tomorrow.

Difficult to find most of them outside of USA now, on the whole , most need to pay great ammounts for shippings and customs...same thing occurs with UK...

 

I would like to have a Dynarewind....but....

[don.siegel]

And that's why I don't have too many MIB can motors OP... They were already pretty expensive when I started collecting seriously, especially stuff like the Dyna Rewinds. But I've been able to find a fair number already mounted in cars, like the following... 

 

[Alchemist]

All this vintage treasure is a wonderful sight to behold!  Wow!

 

Thank you Miguel/Don for sharing.

 

More pix please!

 

Thank you.

Really like your motor collection Miguel. I have just picked up a Champion 701 motor Grey can not Ball bearing. But my tube top has not lettering just a 701 champoin sticker which is much bolder in type than the one on the motor . It was used it has a sidewinder pinion attached.

I also have my first French motor. Looks like a FT36D size

That is a rare one Gary, thanks for posting! 

[don.siegel]

A box of my MIB can motors! 

 

 

And a Champion 707 hop-up kit. 

 

 

Cobra also offered a stock 16D, similar to the Russkit 23: 

 

 

Here's a Dyna-Rewind I bought long ago - not mint, and the motor is dead, but it's got the box and label! 

 

 

Here's the last of the Mabuchi slot car line for the classic era, the FT270S - a great motor! 

 

 

 

The Mila Miglia Capalupo, just a Tyco with a different label... 

 

 

And a small selection of Strombecker motors... 

 

 

More to come...

[Bill from NH]

I'm not familiar with the FT270S. Were those sold in the US or did they come in a particular slot car line? On a quick look, it looks similar to a 26D.

[don.siegel]

It's like an improved 26D Bill: balanced and shunted brushes, plus 1 ball bearing... 

 

They seem to have been sold mostly in Europe, not sure they were ever released in the States. I believe one version of the fairly obscure Spanish Seguar McLaren MK6 came with this motor, but I don't think any others did. Not sure of the release date, but at least 1968-69 I would imagine. Most of the ones we've found have come from Italy. 

 

It's a great motor for vintage racing!

[Allan Feldman]

Don That K & B Jaguar i does it have a yellow endbell? Its a FT26D?. I am looking for one as I have the Kangaroo chassis for it.

I am hoping to picture post when I can Now that my wife has a respite from Cancer.

[don.siegel]

Hi Allan, 

 

Yep, that's the distinctive mark of the Jaguar, and yes it's a 26D. 

 

Is your Kangaroo chassis made for that? There were two versions of the "pouch": for the 36D and Hellcat, and for the 26D. 

 

If you can't find one elsewhere, send me a message and I'll see what I can dig up. 

 

Good to hear about your wife, hope she stays well.

I'm curious about the 98cent strombecker accessory motor. I have several in various stages of decomposition, some that even run. From what little I have found, they are, and feel free to correct me,a 3-volt motor. And again, corrections appreciated, a dry cell battery conversion motor.
Anyone?

[Isaac S.]

They should go on 12v. They ran on the standard Strombecker track which was 12V.

[Mark Onofri]

Issac, did I mention that you are the bomb?
These motors do screeeam! There probably are several species of them. Is that yours?

[Mark Onofri]

I have some other obscure motors that I'll try to post today or tomorrow.

[Isaac S.]

No, just a pic of the web.
