It's way too far away for me but a machine this nice should go to a collector.

Most of those motors just need oiled and tapped with a hammer  but I agree if the motor doesn't work good luck finding one .

i just had to ditto the motor comment.  I wish someone would start making a motor that would fit, then mine would be worth 6 or 7,000 restored.  laugh

Man I love the Westinghouse Select-O-Matics.  I have a 102 and want the other three.  A local guy has the 78 for sale for $550 in poor shape.   I sent him a bunch of links trying to politely convince him it isn't worth that...and tossed him an offer of $100-$150, but he hasn't replied...probably made him mad down but I had to try.

I have a good friend in Milwaukee, hmm...

Like everyone else has said, those vend motors make or break a machine. Really is amazing there hasn't been a replacement made in all these years, they would certainly have some buyers. I've actually rigged mine to vend by turning a knob (will post pictures when completed) to bypass my broken motor but still, such a pain

  The motor he did was a totally different brand that everyone else has. Thats why the rest of us havent been able to rebuild ours. I wish I could rebuild mine.

I'm in the same boat...
I have a WC-60 with a seized motor!
I've been trying to fee things up to no avail...
I may just cut the gear case open and go from there...

My six cents,
