When I went out to our cabin Saturday, I noticed furnace quit running
for a while. Thank goodness, weather has been mild all along indoor
temperature stayed at above freezing.

Found out draft inducer motor was jammed. Took it out managed to oiled
the bearings with proper motor oil. Put the motor back in, furnace fired
right up all is OK.

Mean time I was looking for spare motor every where when I came home
today. www.electricmotorwarehouse.com in Burton, MI had best price for
me. Same thing years ago when I was looking for Carrier furnace blower
PSC motor.

If you need any motor or motor related stuff, check this place out.

Where I live , there are plenty of Grainger's everywhere, so can always
get a motor, same day

Before I retired, I'd often get motors there. Although we just passed
the costs on to our customers, I was surprised that some of those small
motors (under 1/2 HP) cost as much as $50.

Guess my mind is still back in 1975

'75 was a good year for motors. I think that was the year the
Electric Motor League was started, with American and National
Divisions. The play-offs were in Pittsburgh. Very exciting.
2,014,450 revolutions to 1,943,220 iirc.

Grainger usually has what you need but they are seldom the cheapest
unless you have volume enough to get on the wholesale price column.

I usually get motors from either Grainger or Johnstone Supply. However, Grainger sure seems to be really raising the prices on motors lately. Even Grainger's own brand, Dayton Motors, which were made in the USA are now made in China.

Fortunately for our customers I did not have to get the motor start
capacitors from Grainger, since our National Parts Center bought them by
the truckload, they didn't cost much. I think our list price for one of
the bigger ones was $55. When someone here mentioned a repairman charged
them $200, it reminded me of the $2000 toilet quote I once got.

I've done a lot of business with them when I worked for a company that
had an account with them. They are well stocked and have darn near
everything related to motors, and more. But their prices are high. Yet,
I was always satisfied with their products and that means a lot.

If I was buying for myself, I'd probably shop around. I'll keep the URL

I've stated this before...I bought from Grainger with a corporate account (1hp+motor) and found a Dayton motor at Fleet Farm that was identical for $80 less! I told them on their website and they gave no response...so much for customer *care*!

Since it was generally important for me to get a customer up and running
ASAP, they rarely griped about the bills, but I always made it a point
to give them a fair deal.

I doubt I would have survived 38 years on the job and several "buy-outs"
if I over-charged my customers.

The funniest one I ran into was one guy always complained about his
repair ticket and because I knew that, charged him a bit less than
normal, just to get him to shut up...but he still kept complaining.

Finally, I took the paperwork back from him and crossed all the prices
out, returned it and told him to just fill in the prices himself!

He then told me the truth and said he was only allowed to spend so much
money a day and he'd get reprimanded if he signed for bills over $300.

We then worked out an agreement where every bill I submitted would be
under $300 so I'd usually have him sign two separate work orders...each
with a different date!

Yeah. For an industrial customer it was one thing but if I were buying a
motor for my own use...to pay more than $50 for a 1/10th HP motor would
be pretty tough.

Last time I had to do that I found some surplus place on-line.

Now, that is customer care. Good job, sir.

I had a similar conversation with a
customer a while back. Same general
idea. More bills, and lower dollar
value.

Because I was willing to work with my customer, he was happy and I kept
the account...and better still...I did not have to try to lower my bills.

Had I consulted my supervisor for advise we would have just ****ed the

Our limit was $200 on a single item! And it didn't change in 16 years! They finally had to sell their holdings in the US (Canadian) because of lawsuits in about 6 states.
We had suppliers/service that would split-bill as you did.

Fortunately I had learned that trick from an old time salesman who
taught me the ropes soon after I got hired.

We sold industrial batteries and he taught me how to get things done in
impossible situations.

One local manufacturer did not have us on their vendor list as a source
for batteries so they bought from a competitor.

Our salesman buddied up to their maintenance department and found out
that they could spend something like $1000 a month on replacement parts
from wherever they wished.


One of their 18 cell batteries died, so for three months in a row we
sold them six replacement cells.

What they got however was simply one, fully assembled 18 cell battery.

For the past three months I've spent 60 hours a week scanning my old
slides and negatives.

The book will be a brief pictorial auto-biography, perhaps 140 pages ,
half text, half images.

Though this book will come right up to present it will also go back to
the late 50's.

It turns out that anything prior to 1995 or so is considered history.


Although I've been doing photography since I was six years old, when I
got a 35mm camera in 1970, I considered myself a serious photographer.
Only recently at the age of 66 have I gone pro and have been "discovered."
My wife, who is an artist is already represented by Timothy Cobb fine
arts, and one day he told me he'd like to represent me as well.
Due to this recognition I've been inspired to do a book.

Some of the photos were taken while I was stationed in Germany 1970/71

I realize now that 25 years after WW-II was just the blinking of an eye.
When my wife gets done doing the layout of this book, it will be a
masterpiece.

My previous book was a photo essay on Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall,
owned by my friend Andy Kochanski

You're welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I am a big fan of black and
white photography.

Thank you very much! I recall that you and Old Gringo bought one...

This next one should be even better unless Colleen kills me for my
ungrammatical writing. We hope to submit for proofs by the end of this
month

You're welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I am a big fan of black and
white photography.




I love it too.

Though there will be some color photos, quite a few were taken in B&W
with either my 35mm camera or medium format 2.25" x 2.25"

Also, I am including some taken with my Brownie camera.

They might not have seemed like much at the time, 50/60 years later they
turned out to be quite interesting.



Here is one (and only one) preview from the book

My previous book was a photo essay on Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall,

Sounds like a lot of work! Hope it comes out great!


With my wife at the helm it's absolutely going to be splendid.
It is a lot of work and my wife is just the person to do it.




I don't hang out with sissies, heck, he's almost as tough as my wife

He killed the would-be robber not so much to protect himself, as to
protect his customers.


This was the SECOND time he shot at would be robbers.

Oh, I really like that. Lots of sharp focus and then a blur to draw the
eye. Love it!

Again thank you.

That was taken at a supper club about 20 miles south of Milwaukee.
It was built in 1954 and it has stayed mostly unchanged.

What's the story behind the photo?

When you buy the book, you will find out,
but briefly, the guy at the bar is my friend Doug.

My wife and I along with Doug and his wife and a few friends stopped in
that the Hob Nob on our way back from Chicago.



When my wife and I discovered the place many years ago, we almost did
not go in because we thought it might be too expensive.

Every car in the lot was a Mercedes!

We went in anyway and found out that a Mercedes owners club had rented a
private dining room and you did not have to own one to dine there.

We could afford the place and we love it
