[VAL] Heater repair 1969 Tradewind

[Tombhs@xxxxxxx]

Hello all:  I wanted to briefly report on my heater work and to thank those 
who gave me suggestions.  Glyn....sorry but it looks like I will be keeping the 
heater as my repairs actually WORKED!  I was able to get the old Suburban out 
and take apart the fan assembly.  I took the motor down to a local shop and 
they replaced the brushes for $20.00.
I could not find rubber washers to replace the 4 old ones so I had to 
fabricate some new ones.  The auto parts store had some gasket material that was the 
same thickness as the asbestos gaskets so I cut some of that and used it as a 
replacement.  Both fans were not perfectly balanced but no one could fix that. 
 I put them back and made sure the allen screws held them tight.  I cleaned 
everything I could reach, put it all back in and it fired right up.  Very quiet 
now.  
Now on to the next problem.   The ceiling light over the fold out kitchen 
table at the front of the AS doesn't work.  There is no current reaching the hot 
wire leading to the light.  All other power sockets and lights work in the 
trailer.  I have replaced the bulb (circular) but as I said, the tester indicates 
no power getting to this light.  Is this a fuse?  If it is, I can't find a 
burnt fuse anywhere.  Where else might I look.  Not being particularly 
electrically minded....this has me stumped.
