I bought a homebuilt compressor in a garage sale and this motor was on it. However it had been dropped and the start capacitor was damaged. I recently installed a suitable capacitor and it runs fine, so I went online to look for information. I realized that there was only one other picture of this make of motor and decided to add mine to the resource.
It appears that the motor may have been originally motivating a Jacuzzi, which isn't strictly speaking woodworking machinery. It may not even be old enough to be classed as vintage. However, there appears to be a paucity of information available for this manufacturer, especially in the larger motor sizes. I believe the specs and wiring diagram may be useful to others. And it is certainly going to be used to work wood from now on.
