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. ;-) -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida

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. -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85.
