That's great to hear, fixed on the telephone. Good call Ken.
You may experience more of a humming noise comming from that fan now. Once the blades have been bent they never seem to be balanced quite right again. Replacements are very inexpensive though.
While it was running last night, the noise didn't seem to be too bad, although it could probably be quieter. I may keep my eye out for a replacement and make a few stops. Like I said though, the noise wasn't overbearing or anything |

He literally has it out of the machine and the wires still on it. All he would have to do would be still the ends in a socket and find out if it works. I would hate to see how much the price would go up from people (probably posters here lol) bidding against one another if he were to confirm it is working |

Just asked the guy on eBay if he would test the motor to see if it worked. He said no, and that if he did and knew it worked he would ask 150 for the motor.
I guess everyone needs to profit a bit but man, lets not be to greedy in the process.

My question is, if he knows how valuable the motor is, why not test it and if it works, charge the extra $150? I have a feeling he has tested it, found out it didn't work but, will leave it's condition "as is" or "chance it might" |

He'll never get $150 for it or even $75 - even if he says it works!
Why?
You can find these machines complete for $100-$150 - part it out and get the motor for free.
The last motor I saw on eBay sat without a $10 bid until the end and someone got it for $10 - that was about a year ago.

I had contacted him, the seller, as well only to verify what has been posted!
I agree w/ Tom, a little over-priced and unreasonable; not to mention, he's a member...

Not even offering a member's discount, that makes it even worse |

An attempt to exploit supply and demand? Just picked up 2 78's both motors DOA. Just gives me ambition to find a replacement that will work.

Speaking of members, I think this may be just the task for our resident Scalebowler. Converting that Tonka truck to move under it's own power makes this gearmotor problem look like kids stuff.

It might be time to contact him and let him have a go at it. Can't say I've ever talked with him but if he's as good as you say he is, go for it, we need all the help we can get. Been close to 50 years or so and not one motor has been an adequate replacement
