but the problem with this motor is, you need to remove everything to be able to have access to the two cords. so while you're doing it, you might as well clean the motor. i wish there's a simpler way to gain access to the 2 flaked wirings so that i can just replace it without taking out everything (motor and balance wheel).

Thanks for the link Joe. These tutorials are well worth printing out and saving. I do and it helps to be able to have them right next to me or hubby when following them.
Vic, It gets easier the more you do it. Also try to enjoy the process, and not focus so hard on the end. It makes for a much more pleasant journey with each and every machine and table. I know this because I had to refocus and learned to do it this way. I move like a tortoise anyways...so it works for me.
I would just like to caution people that are doing these for resale or when you decide to resell one of your own. You can be held accountable in a court of law if your sold machine was found to be the source of fire/damage/ electrocution etc.
So as others have stated do everything the very best you can and always sell machines, equipment and supplies with disclaimers especially if you claim to have 'refurbished it' at that point you have now taken on responsibility of the machine to be in good working order, always add AS IS attached to it. It is just better to be safe and protect yourselves.

I just got a 201-2, motor smoking, took it apart. the two thick wrapped wires that look like donuts (only way to describe and I'm drinking my morning coffee LOL) just crumbled. Have already found one on Ebay. But was wondering if I could wrap these or use the liquid wrap on these wires? Might not be any good? Thanks

the 2 big "donuts" are the armature windings. and if they've overheated, shorted out, they should NOT be used. The 2 wires that supply them are what usually looses their insulation though. you could have them checked by a motor rewinding shop. Otherwise replace them or the motor. make sure the insulation on the replacement motor is sound.
