Re: [VACList] fan motor (was "testing gas lines" etc.)
You don't necessarily have to give up on the old motors. I took mine apart
(from my 69) and found some insect (long gone) had made a large home inside. I
cleaned all the mud out, cleaned all the contacts, a little lube here and
there, sanded some crusty areas (mind you, I don't know 'nuthin bout fixin'
motors), put it all back together (that was the hard part). Hallelujah, it works
great. I plan to put in a Fantastic Fan in the future, but I was determined to
get this old thing working. Most satisfying.
