He might be a source for a good replacement for the lathe or other
machines in the shop. They often get motors - fix this one and take these...

I had a motor repair friend at one time. I gave him my old electric oven.
It had good burners. He use it to burn out the windings of trashed out
motors. Then the wire would pull out. Once melted - it is tough...

Well Bill, the $12 capacitor was actually due to incredibly lucky
coincidence. the first shop I went to said they would Charge me $100
initial bench charge plus parts, I thought that was a bit steep so I
drove around the corner to another shop. When I went into the shop the
person a the counter was an old school buddy that I hadn't seen in over
30 years. He invited me into the back of his shop & we reminisced
about the old days while he worked on the motor. We had lots of laughs.
Needless to say this guy has my business from this day forward.
