Hello all!

I posted a wekk ago about finding a starting relay for my teletype motor. 
They must be hard to come by, so I was wondering if the motor sould be 
started via 2switches, one acting as a start relay and switched manually. 
Obviously this COULD be done, but my real question is: would the motor have 
to come up to full speed (synchronized) before disengaging the start winding? 
and what might happen if it was in start mode for too long, or not long 
enough? although I'm not sure if it is started in the same way, Hammond 
organs had a "start" and "run" switch to start their sync motors. You simply 
held the start switch on for a short time, and then hit the run switch. Any 
info would be appreciated
