Hi Tony,
One turns ClockWise, the other Counter Clock Wise - so they either both turn in or both turn out.
The motors will have stamped on the CW or CCW for their direction of turning...

Hi John, The one wasn't turning at all. Just a little while ago I replaced it with a new motor (left side). The motor runs clockwise and the colors turn counter clockwise toward the grill. The other side with the worn but working motor also turns the clockwise like the left one. I forgot to compare the markings on it when I took it out. I took it out to turn the bronze bearing 180° to buy it a lot more time before it wears out. (I also use 90W pure mineral oil with no additives in the bearings.) As worn as the bronze bushing/bearing was, I'm surprised it still worked! Now it has a new lease on life.
Somehow somewhere it got the wrong motor in one side. Victory Glass didn't have a right side motor so it is what it is.
Looking now, the website shows that they have left and right but they have pressed on wheels, not a flat side for a set screw like the old one and the one I bought. also on the website, it shows the two wires with crimped on slip on connectors. The motor I received had no connectors (which I didn't need) I don't know what to think anymore? I'll have to call them Monday then talk to the owner of the box to see what I will do. What a long story!
