Which Copal motor goes in which clock

[flipoclock]

An idea I have been toying around with for awhile but since I had some motors laying on the table and they have actual markings on them, I figured I might as well record it here as to make it public and not let the info get lost.
Ideally, I would like to set up an overview of which type of motor is mounted in which clock and get the complete. Now that is of course never going to happen, but what is stopping us from trying, right ?


Motor K59 - Copal Model 227 (110v/60hz)
Motor K63 - Copal Model 228 (220v/50hz)
Motor K6Y - Sony Model TFM-C480E (220v/50Hz)
Motor T8Z - Copal Model RP-200 (220v/50Hz)
Motor R67 - Copal Model RP-233 (220v 50Hz)
Copal Model 101/201, no marking, but they are unique since they have a different gear on the outside, the one which connects with the clockwork

That's it for now, perhaps we can make this into a sticky topic and Mr. Moderator can add the info to this post as it is being added.

What I am asking of you is when you have a clock in parts in your hands and you are fairly certain that the motor is original to the clock, check for markings and post it here... Make/model of the clock and marking on the motor + voltage/hz.

Hoping to get lots of information from you guys and I will add as much as I can

This is a great idea. As you say, when the info is added I'll edit the original post and keep it updated. I'll be helping soon too!

That was good timing as I've recently had 2 open...

Motor GC -1239-02 - Copal Model RD-100 Saehan (220v/50Hz)

Motor Copal II - Copal Model RP-160 (220v/50Hz)

Thanks for the add David. I am afraid that Copal II does not mean anything more than that it is a Copal motor, a lot, if not, most copal motors have this stamped on the whirligig

There are no other markings on that RP-160 motor other than the label saying 220v 50Hz around the gearbox, perhaps a label fell off?

[flipoclock]

Sometimes, I think, they're simply not marked. I have never seen a motor for the model 101 or 201 with a marking other than the voltage/hz

[davidm]

These are the labels in my new Sony Ghostbuster, the main label had fallen off but was inside the clock, and on the long strip label there is 50Hz 220v and another code K6Y
Do you want that 3 letter/number code if it's there?

So Motor GC-1349 1-548-510-21 Sony Model TFM-C480E



I also had a look inside my Copal 229 but all that's got is Copal II on the rotor and the long 220v/50Hz label with no other code.

[davidm]

It looks like I've wrongly given you numbers off the larger square label on the back of the motor's rotor cover when you want the 3 letter/number code off the long thin label on the 'gearbox'.

My apologies, you must have been slapping your forehead!

So all I have for definite so far is:

Motor K6Y - Sony Model TFM-C480E (220v/50Hz)

Motor T8Z - Copal Model RP-200 (220v/50Hz)

Motor R67 - Copal Model RP-233 (220v 50Hz)

Motor R71 - Copal RP-160 (180-260v 50Hz)

Got another RP-160 to repair today, hour numbers not flipping, but turning backwards with the alarm setting !

Got this large mech out of a GE 7-4300. It screws into a plastic base that doubles as the holder for the transformer.
