I've recently started digging into an old Delta light duty shaper. I'm planning on building new storm windows for the house before winter shows up again and need to get this thing running.
As it turns out, the 1/2 hp 3450 rpm motor that was on it is shot - short in the windings. So, i'm lookking for a 1/2 hp or larger single phase 3450 rpm motor i can put on it - standard mounting base - nothing fancy.
I've checked all my usual sources for used motors and haven't come up with anything less than $80. I'm a bit of a bottom feeder, so that's a touch out of my budget. I certainly don't mind rebuilding if the windings are good. Grunge, rust, bearing chatter, and old cords don't scare me off.
Any midwestern sources out there? I'm in St. Louis, but can certainly spring for parcel post if the price is right.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Hubbman
