Re: how to.inspect.motor?

Jon, that is why I am "thinking" of using one of the Consew motors I have. I was shocked by the price of a new motor from Little Machine Shop.
If it comes down to having to spend money I might just buy a new mini lathe.
I need to know what the current belt is so I can look for new pulleys.
There used to be a Duhguy here in the forum that does repairs. I think he lived in Maine. Getting my current mini lathe fixed is a possibility.
This lathe might be 50 years old.

This is an excellent idea, but it is
not plug-n-play.?
You need to create a motor mount, and a
matching drive pulley as your original pulley will not fit.
You probably can not make it fit
either.
There is a guy in Florida called "The
Custom Crafter" that has 500W, 1000W, and 2000W motors as well as
all of the hardware to make it work.
It is not cheap tho...
.
Lets just get this motor cleaned up
before spending any REAL money.

Go Godzilla Go!?
errrr Ralph!

My other lathe is not running so I cannot turn the commutator.
That commutator does look kinda rough.
What is the belt?
