Re: OT-how to test and repair DC brushed motors.

Yep. PM brushed motor. Ohm meter is still useful for continuity checks through the brushes, brush holders, wire from them to the connectors, etc. Dad taught me how to use an ohm meter back when most of them were vacuum tube operated and all analog displays. Pretty sure I still have a VTVM here someplace... Been a while since I've seen it, though. ;) Been a hobby electronics type most of my life, and 12 years as a Satellite Communications tech for the USAF. Had some spiffy test equipment there, and that was long enough ago that most of it is probably available on the surplus market for prices I could almost afford now. But I already have too many expensive hobbies. ;)

Mr. Ohmmeter would be my friend in this application. Check
the field windings to see if they are good, not shorted. I'm pretty sure that is a permanent magnet motor, so no field winding. Jon
