Default Free electric motors in the UK

This autumn I am having a clear out of stuff that I'm not using for
projects. At the back of the shed I have maybe 10 or 12 electric motors
ranging from about 1/6 hp to 3 hp. Most are three phase, but a couple
are single phase. There are also a few washing machine motors of various
kinds. Some are connected to water pumps, some have pulleys etc. I kept
these for projects but now I have way too many. Most are electrically
sound but have faults such as grumbling bearings, cracked plastic fan
cowlings, damaged cooling fins or missing terminal box covers. Basically
I can't sell them but they might be of some use to a person needing a
cheap motor for a machine, or for spare parts, so I thought I'd offer
them around here.

If you need a motor for a machine or project let me know and I'll see if
I have one to match your requirements. They won't be perfect but they're
free. I can dig them out and test them, and you can collect or I can
send them by DHL at cost.

Let me know if you're interested.
