•Hi Everyone, I have been following the articles on bad roll drive motors. I have found a very good repair company: Eurton Electric Co., in Santa Fe Springs, California. It is family owned and they are great! They specialize in the rewinding and repair of small fractional horsepower motors. I used t...

•Greetings automuse, Eurton can rebuilt a piano motor. I had a turbine pump armature rewound and balanced by them and they did a good job at a reasonable price. There is really nothing difficult about an induction motor and any motor shop should be able to rewind one. Replacing sleeve bearings is al...

•I need to second the recommendation of Eurton Electric for motor rewinding. They are completely professional and do excellent work at competitive rates. I always say that the way to judge a person or business is the way they deal with problems. I sent a rare Welte centrifugal vacuum pump motor to t...

One company I have found that can re-wind these motors is Eurton Electric (http://www...

•I asked for help a while ago regarding rewiring the armature on my piano -- a Gulbransen electric registering piano (Recordo expression system) -- when our local shop wanted an exorbitant price to do it [190915 MMDigest]. I wanted to thank everyone who offered motor parts or information. I ended up...

•Dear Samuel and MMD, A good motor repair shop should be able to fit a solid-state universal start switch to your motor. These eliminate the mechanical switch altogether. I had a similar problem with the original motor on my 1913 Seeburg F and was able to fit one of these devices successfully. A cap...

•Greetings automuse, Since it hasn't been said yet, motor brushes are not as simple as they appear. I have a few books on motor repair and rewinding and read them at one time, although I have never rewound a motor myself. As is often the case where situations seem to be simple, there are hidden comp...

Jody - A Dutch piano technician has several times put out a request to the pianotech mailing list for the address of a tuner from Australia that he met a while back. No one has responded to it. Since there are some collectors from "Down Under" on the MMD list, I wondered if you might be able to help...
