Since upgrading I now have a box of good unneeded parts. Can anyone use these parts? Would prefer pickup in the Framingham Ma area.

I'm keeping my parts in the event my PP goes south in the future and I don't want to pay for repairs. That would be like trying to sell a car with a bad engine.

Didn't expect to see Framingham. I'm over in Bellingham. I could store parts if no one is in immediate need.

Thank you.

Someone must need a motor or a quill or sheeves.

If you have the room, it would be a good time to build a MINI to power your SPTs. Contact me if you wish to investigate this option. Thansk.

Bill has a good suggested use (as always) for the parts but he also rebuilds and repairs SS for some who can't really afford it.

If you can afford the shipping you might think to PM Bill to see if he could use them. I took pix of my 'spare' parts and sent the pix to him to see if it was worthwhile to send the parts. It was.

My motor quit a while back and I just got around to taking it apart to find I burned up my windings (was hoping for just a start capacitor). I have a 50th anniversary Mark V 520 (bought 2nd hand on eBay) and it had an Emerson motor in it. I'm assuming the motor manufacturer fits into a certain period of time with Mark Vs, thinking the Emersons may be more late model (thoughts???). Would love to upgrade to PowerPro, just not sure I can justify the cost right now (still thinking about it though!).

I realize shipping to Texas may be $30-$50, but if you want to sell a motor let me know and we can figure out if it is worthwhile. PM me or post, whichever you prefer.

Thanks,

A helpful note about shipping motors. I have been using a large USPS flat rate box inside a second large flat rate box. No packing on top and bottom of motor, only packing around the sides and the sheave end to prevent the motor from moving. Less than $20 with insurance and tracking. I allow the top and bottom of the box to bow a little when I tape the box. I use a lot of packing tape to protect the box. So far, I have shipped over a dozen motors with excellant results and no complaints from the post office when shipping them.

Please PM me if you are interested in another motor or a reversible motor. I am always interested in obtaining bad and non-operating motors for their parts. Thanks.

Have you checked the ohm meter readings between the 2 motor power wires and from the motor power wires to the motor casing. I rebuilt a motor last week that that appears to have been on fire at both ends with all the wrapping cord ties burned off the outside of the windings along with the insulation on the motor power wires. It really looked bad. However, the ohm readings between the motor power wires was around 2 ohms and no short to the casing. I carefully cleaned the windings, retied them with high temp ties and reinsulated them with insulating varnish along with soldering 2 new motor power wires to the windings. I installed new bearing and the motor operated very quietly. I was totally amazed as this was the first badly burnt motor that I was able to rebuild and have it still operate.

I live in Grapevine (really close to you). I can help you check and possibly repair your motor OR I have an Emerson motor we can discuss options that would save you shipping. Check your PM!

Edit: For some reason it won't let me PM you. Send me a PM if you are interested or let me know here.
