In the dark? Wow! You're good. Wouldn't have been easier to swap
the two wires from the field coil instead of rewinding it? ;-)

No, we have Edison electric light in the garage. Simply turn switch at
door - do not attempt to light with match :-)

That's not scientific enough. Wouldn't pass muster in this here fine group.

Just blow out the dust and most of them would never know the
difference. ;-)

I rebuilt hundreds of vacuum cleaner motors with a varaible low
voltage DC power supply and an ink eraser. Polish the commutator with
the eraser, check the fans for damages, and make sure that the brushes
were still good and I made a quick $20 on a 95 dollar motor. A guy that
rebuilt the machines would bring me truckloads of bad motors for the
scrap metal, then would come back to buy good motors. I never did let
his see my armature lathe. ;-)

Use the "Preview" button to open a new, working page that matches what
you are working on. The links don't work in composer to keep you from
accidentally opening something you don't want to. It also makes it
safer to open questionable HTML documents because all scripts are
disabled.
