So I found a lovely gentleman who takes antiques, cleans them up, repairs them, overhauls the motor, the works, and then sells them on eBay. Well, I asked him to take a look at poor old Faith-Ann's motor, since she's been chugging and overheating like no one's business. He promised to take a look, and I dropped her off on Monday. Well, he sent me a video to show her off, and all I can say is WOWEE!

I could kiss him! Did you see that?! 6 layers of denim! Holy cow!
Now, a bit of a disclaimer; he did have to replace her armature, as it had two bad spots on the inside, which no doubt contributed to her "mlurr" outlook on life, but still, I will give him full credit for her recovery. She's going to be like a brand new machine when I get her back, I'm so excited! I hope my attempts to rewire my 201 are half as successful!
