Very easy to reuse, much more than the modern universal motors used with variable speed machines.

To be noticed, if you plan to repair an old machine, there are lots of arduino projects here and there that aim to control the machine and replace the old mechanical command blocks.

I have a project currently to control the speed of a modern washer motor using an arduino also.
That's the stuff i was planning to save.I didn't think about arduino.I'm raspi man,if you know what I mean.
