Nailer and motor questions plus a little bragging

All right, I run accross so much stuff I'll be pestering you guys forever. For this week:

I just bought a Paslode MN-200 pneumatic nailer off eBay. Can anyone tell me about it? How were the older Paslode products? The seller said it was a finish nailer, but it looks like a framing nailer to me. That doesn't count for much because I'm new to these, however. There's a link for those who want to see the photo.

Second, a motor question. I picked up an old Leland Electric explosion-proof, 1/2 horse motor from the local dump. It has brushes like a universal motor, but they're pretty small and it says single phase on the ID plate. No mention of AC/DC. Is this an induction/repulsion motor? I've never actually seen one of that type. Also, can anyone tell me what happened to the company?I'd guess it's about 50-60 years old. There are built-in power and voltage switches.

Finally, I know many people here only buy new portable power tools, but I can't resist sharing this. Thanks to eBay I have bought:

Bosch 12V cordless drill $10
DeWalt 18V 1/2" cordless drill w/battery $37
Chinese 1/2" impact wrench $8
Paslode nailer $35
Sioux/Milwaukee 3/8" close quarters angle drill $25
B&D 1/4" drill, dead B&D 1/2" drill, and a Wards router $16

Until next time...

John, that definitely ain't no finish nailer, its a framing nailer and you should be able to get any parts you need for it, find a full service nail co. My supplier has a boneyard and I normally put used hard parts on my guns when I can get them. I don't know a whole lot about Paslode, I'm a diehard Senco user,but I believe them to be pretty decent guns. Johnny

Those old metal nail guns are heavy. Building a house anytime soon with all those tools?

If the nailer works its worth $35. Don't forget to give it a few drops of air tool oil each day you use it. The bad side is that Paslode considers this gun obsolete so you may not be able to find repair parts. I work on Paslode guns. The repair parts will be spendy if you can find them.

Thanks for the help. Do you know about when it was made? Also, what common problems should I look for. Any general info about the older Paslodes would help. I've been using air tools for some time, but always swung a hammer for nails.

Your Leland motor definitely could be a repulsion-induction. They are heavy, complicated, more troublesome than most other types due to the complexity. Some have the brushes riding on the commutator all the time even though the brushes function only during starting. Others have mechanisms to lift the brushes after starting. Repulsion-induction motors are single phase only. The advantages are very high starting torque and very (comparatively spreaking) low starting amperes. With improvements in capacitor start motors, it is doubtful if anyone still makes the R/I motors.

Question: The little brushless dc fans often used for computer cooling look like they have an inverter and operate on an ac repulsion theory. Is this so? If so, can they be reliably speed controlled by way of pulse width modulation?
