Hello, everyone!
Today, I was dumpster diving and I found this.

Can anyone identify this for me? By the way, I'm new to this board. Any information is appreciated.

Is it dual tone or single tone? Its an older one based off the cap..only has 4 bolt holes for a while I was the only one with a cap like that. Lucky find! Lets see some pics of it taken apart!

It's a dual tone one. Sounds like a Model 2T.

So it runs? Or have you tested that much yet?

Yes, I tested it. It runs, but it needs new brushes.
