My 34-444 Delta CS motor just gave up the ghost and I was wondering if
anyone knew any good places or websites to find a good replacement.
Delta is currently pricing replacement motors at $250, but I imagine
there's others selling Delta, Leeson and Baldor motors for far better
prices. I'm in the Chicago area if it helps.

A couple of years back, I needed a single-phase motor for a Delta DJ-20
jointer. I looked all over online and such and ended up finding what I
needed at Farm-n-Fleet (I'm in the Chicago area myself). Now, the motor I
needed had a pretty standard 56 frame, so that made it easier...i don't know
what you will need. So, my advice is to make the drive to Sycamore and
visit the Farm-n-Fleet. While you're there, buy some Carhartts and a cattle
prod. Afterwards, go another 10 miles and buy some wood at the Kirkland
Sawmill.

Geez, to get from Farm 'n Fleet to Kirkland, you practically drive
through the parking lot of The Hardwood Connection. That's worth a
stop, too.

If you don't need either lumber place, and want to save a bit of a
drive, depending on where in Chicagoland you are, there's a Farm 'n
Fleet in Aurora (actually Montgomery), too.

Depending in whether CS stands for contractors saw or cabinet saw, the
motor may be proprietary. Unisaw (a cabinet saw) motors are, and
they're usually closer to $350.
