I've re-examined the pictures I saved. You're right. What I thought was governor weights was just reflections, grease, and my expectation that they were there.

I think it would rotate too slowly with it still attached. Without it, the angler can control the speed by allowing the line to slip through the fingers faster or slower. When i get some time I will send you a photo. I have a couple that I have not torn apart yet.

I suppose it is possible that they are there but not engaged in the gear train too. Can you send a picture of one you have?

The governors are always gone, but the springs and gears come in handy Dave Dazer ________________________________ From: Ron L'Herault <[email protected]> To: Antique Phonograph List <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Sun, October 28, 2012 9:20:48 PM Subject: [Phono-L] trolling motors from phono motors I'm looking for information about the practice of turning a spring wound phono motor into a trolling motor/line winder. Ever see on, build one, use one? Got pictures?
