You may also want to check commutator/windings with an ohm meter to

You should find between 20 and 60 gnomes in there for a 240v vac, 1/4
that if 110v.
Dunno about "gnomes", but assuming the OP is in the U.S., it ain't
gonna be a 240-volt unit. We don't use that Yurpeen power over heah'.
Sure we do, I have some 240V tools here in the US, not hand tools
though.
You know what I meant: ordinary, plug-in-the-wall stuff. Not talking
about your honking 3-phase, 5-horsepower planer or whatever.
How about an ordinary plug into the wall 240V air compressor and a small
drill press? These are reasonably common and plug into a normal 15A 240V
receptacle. Many table saws can also be configured for 240 too. Oh and I
have a small arc welder that plugs into 240 as well.
Well, OK; since you're pursuing this so doggedly, let's restrict it to
portable household appliances (not fixed things like clothers dryers),
since that's what the original post was about
: I challenge you to name a
single one that runs off of anything other than 120 volts here in the U.S.
