The Etek I used was fried so I consider it to be free... My friend and I fixed the motor by re-soldering the tabs which had melted off the commutator. It took two soldering irons to get the metal clips hot enough to melt the solder. No problems with the fixed motor so far... Additional info: I did all the machining using only a saber saw, hack saw, and table router with a special bit for aluminum. |
