Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Tech Talk...
Good job Pat, and thanks for the
information.
I've never had one of these
things apart, but I have seen an exploded view diagram. Tell me, are the
armature shaft bearings supported by metal componenst in the lower unit? The
drawing I saw shows only one endcap on the prop side and it appears to be
metal. The other end looks like the brush assembly which may or may not be
metal. The housing appears to be of inferior quality, and not at all
strong. I'm wondering how much of a job it would be to replace the housing
with a stronger unit fabricated from a heavy gauge metal with hemispherical
encaps? In other words, just use the guts. This might also allow a means
for attaching a small gear reduction unit and a better prop. You could then fill
most of the voids with an epoxy resin. Just a
thought.
Best regards,
Big Dave
