I'll look over the next couple of days. I could look now but it's cold in the garage and the pub / open fire / beer beckons.

Looks to be 17 or 18 motors in my little haul. All 4-pole, 3P but dual voltage. 0.12, 0.18, 0.37kW etc. A mix of SEW and Bonfiglioli. Untested as yet and in various states. One 2-pole is this:
It was brand new until I looked at it the other night for a member here. Still in the back of the car I slackened off the two grub screws on the shaft coupling to measure the shaft and it wouldn't budge. Went to move it the next night and grabbed it by the coupling. Whoops! Motor fell onto the concrete path and dented the fan cover.
I'm going to the pub now.
I'll be back in the garage March / April 'ish.

My welder arrived yesterday
tested in the evening overall I'm pleased with it tested the stick and gasless flux core side .
I'm curious to measure the current output because I feel the stick side very hot
I was melting 4mm plate with 2.5mm 7018 at 90A
Trying Flux core at its lowest setting I've been able to weld on 0.5mm steel plate using 0.8mm wire .
Not able to fill an hole clean but it was quite big and on very thin metal

You won't be able to weld with it unfortunately as you can only weld with acetylene. Brazing no problem though.

The genset I had previously was slightly too small for comfort, meaning that while it was good to have and did a great job several times when the power went off, it was a bit restrictive, so I upped the size today.
They also threw in three 32A to 16A and 13A * pigtail adapters, which was nice.
I'll make up a new feedline for the distrib box on the wall.
* ie, a 32A to 16A 230V
a 32A to 16A 110V
and a 32A to 13A socket.

I found similar to be very disappointing, could do lumi weld on small aluminium castings and probably ok for making jewellery but not up to freeing seized studs on a set of bike barrels just not enough heat.
The other down side is that if you do have much success with it you will be constantly buying oxygen cylinders.

My first quick test of it works very well for my intended use. I have only a mapp torch otherwise so no way of making seized exhaust bolt nuts etc glow red. This does it easily
Small stuck brake disc bolts etc don't know what's coming next time!
I did also take a tig mild steel rod and it welded easily creating a very unskilled blob with my hands but there you go.
I'll be using this like once a year so cost of gas etc isn't a real world issue for me. Besides what I paid for the whole kit with 2no full bottles is less than one oxygen bottle.
