Same answer here. Not worth the money and liable to burn out again apparently.

Have you found a place that does it?

When I phoned our local rewound place they were not interested.  Told me to get a new one.  New motors are probably made in low labour cost countries and the  cost of repair would be high.



I think reround places only repair big industrial motors.

I use a local company,
I agree they do tend to concentrate on industrial, but dont mind rewinding pump motors etc,
last one I had done was £150 and included bearings, was for cash mind :) although a verbal guarantee was forthcoming.
he also said postal repairs were ok Geoff

I presume that was your big pump.

Woodbridge will repair smaller pumps , I was told it was cheaper option.

Yes , Ian  complete rewind and overhaul of the motor,
not worth doing on a vac motor.
