Player Piano Motor DKG Model 4
By Miguel de Mattos

I found an old electric player motor that I'd like to know, if
possible, any information about it.  Possibly it came from a German
player, and there is no available information that I can find.

The label mark [maker] is a DKG, model 4, 110 VAC, 2 Amp.,
42 Per (cycles), 1400 umrd (rotations), 1/4 horsepower.  It's an
induction brushless motor.

Any information about this motor or this mark are welcome.

Kind regards
Miguel de Mattos

 [ Maybe the motor was made in Germany for export abroad, since the
 [ mains voltage 110 VAC is common in USA and Canada.  Assuming that
 [ it's a 4-pole induction motor, the nameplate frequency of
 [ 42 Hz (cycles per second) implies speed 1200 rpm.  A 50 Hz motor
 [ would spin about 1450 rpm.  Strange...  -- Robbie
