Power Supply for Welte-Mignon 110V DC Motor
By Randolph Herr

I recently acquired an original Red Welte Vorsetzer from Europe that
had the good fortune to have survived completely unrestored, and in
almost incredibly good condition.  I mean, even the finish is
mirror-like on the mahogany panels of the case.

I will send along some pictures of the Vorsetzer in the near future,
but for now, my question is about the original 110 Volt DC motor: any
suggestions as to how to best feed power to that motor?  Is a rectifier
sufficient?  Please feel free to email MMD with any suggestions.

Thanks in advance, Randolph Herr
