[VAC] Re: Old Suburban furnace motor
There are still lots of motor rebuilders in the world these days. In
Indianapolis there are two of 'em. It ain't cheap, but if your motor is
precious to you, well, it might be worth the investment. Shops here run
around $150 for a small (single phase low Horsepower motor) rebuild which
includes bearings, winding, armature refurbish, and if they like you, even
fresh paint. 12 volt equipment is something these folk face regularly if
infrequently.
Try one of these guys: not an endorsement but I've had them work on 120 AC
stuff with good results-
Horner Electric 317-639-4261
McBroom Electric 317-926-3451
You have to spend a bunch on rebuild before it's cost effective to replace
your whole furnace.
But if that fire box is compromised...well you know
