[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
