Testing an Old motor for restoration ?

[Rufus2502]

I have acquired an old British Thompson Houston 1/3 HP BKS 2410 single phase motor on a pillar drill, it needs new bearings before I can test run it, my question is can I use a multi meter to check the windings and find out if its a go-er at this stage and worth restoring ?

If so how ?

better with a continuity/insulation tester.

Rufus you really need a megger and a meter but the megger is the best way to really check your windings

An Insulation Tester you mean Mate a megger is a trade name, may be different over the water though.
