Ok, I have an old range hood in my home, and the motor has refused to
go. When I tried to start it the other day, the switch caught on fire,
but that is another story. So, I need to replace the motor (the motor
is stuck with grease) and I figure the switch and knob as well. Can
anyone turn me on to a source for these parts. I know that one source
is Nutone itself. Are there any after market sources in the US?

it's quite possible that the motor is frozen with grease and
gunk. could be worth while to degrease it, relube it, and
try it again. motors were built really rugged in those days.

NuTone, great units, Slide off the bottom plate [if you can its greased
shut] , pull the pins and lower the motor and clean and oil the ports
that have never been oiled for 50 years, you might get it free enough to
run. Contact Nutone for your parts. I have one from the 60s, they need
regular maintenance or grease clogs them up.

you need it it works and looks like it's right out the box
