Hi Debi, That's a tough one.  I don't know of any technicians in the
Islands.  I am going to post your request for help in the world-wide
distributed Mechanical Music Digest.  Perhaps one of the near 500 members
knows someone in Hawaii.  I hope we can find you the help you need.

Considering what you said about the motor, I suppose the first logical
question is, if you plug the motor directly to a wall socket (via an
extension cord), does the motor spin?  I hope you have 110-120 VAC at 60
Hz (60 cycles per second).

Awaiting your reply.

Musically, John A. Tuttle
