I just got back from an estate sale in South Bend (www.estatesales.net/IN/South-Bend/46628/1649883) that has quite a few electric motors in basement.
I chatted with the people doing the sale and they claimed to have tested them all. I walked away with a 1 HP Baldor 110/220 unit with the motor mount for $17.50 - at that price, I can set it on the shelf for a future project.
I saw some nice older units, including Dayton and Century, and a brand new Magnetek (?) in the box. There was also a 14" South Bend Lathe company floor standing drill press for $75 which I think you could get them to go cheaper if you made an offer. It looked to be in decent condition for its age if you want a floor standing drill press.
Most of the rest of the tools were picked over, but a few interesting bits and pieces were still there - 4" jointers, a couple of old Craftsman tablesaws, an electric hacksaw, and lots of hand tools of various homeowner grade quality.
