Thank you Bennett. I wish I had your tute when I took my first motor apart. It is now on it's way to my brother in South Carolina to clean and put it back together. Perhaps those of us who are attempting our first motor project should also have some info regarding what to look for in order to determine when a motor is not repairable.

Thanks so much for this information and thanks, Caroline, for telling me how to get back to this tutorial. I had bookmarked it; but was not sure how to get back to it. Now, thanks to you, I can read it any time I want to.

That was a great tut. Thank you for sharing that with us. I may even tackle my old Kenmore motor. Still works like a charm.

Believe me, the first one I tried this on was on a project that couldn't be hurt, it was in such bad shape. That made it easier! I still haven't take apart one of the Singer motors lying around that have the light direct wired in. All the wires still kind of intimidate me!
