<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 3966557, member: 6444"]I've repaired a few electric fans and other vintage motorized equipment. Usually they just need lubrication, or brushes, wires or connections replaced. I wouldn't remove the windings unless you think you really need to. They are just coils of wire, and don't go bad unless severely shorted out, in which case they need to be replaced, but where do you find replacements? Better in my opinion to leave in place and rewire if and as needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
