Concerning the Welte Holtzer-Cabot motor [001029 MMDigest],
there are several motor restorers available in the Antique
Fan Collectors Association, if Mr. Helfman wants it restored.
I would guess a complete rebuild, rewind, bearings, etc.,
might cost a couple hundred dollars though.

Suggest you contact Paul Graves at 972-579-2977 as a start.  He is
a fine restorer of antique fans and could either do the motor or
recommend someone.

 [ Don't be surprised at the price, though; good workmanship costs.
 [ The customer should obtain a description of the job and a firm
 [ price beforehand, and discuss how the rebuilder will demonstrate
 [ that his work is satisfactory.  (E.g., measure the hum and noise
 [ and imbalance with the motor mounted on a sounding board, etc.).
 [ The specifications for a motor in a player piano are different
 [ from fan motor specs.  -- Robbie
