Does anybody have, to sell, or know where I can get a motor for the formerly ubiquitous Minitrix F9? I got a chassis to put under a Penn Central shell I have and it was in bad shape with everything stuck except, the motor looked pretty good other than needing cleaning. I got it all cleaned up and the commutator redressed and then, the brush spring broke and I tried to use epoxy to fasten the two ends in place but it broke again trying to install the brushes. So, I then tried to use a coil spring between the two brushes as I saw that on old HO motors years ago. It worked but the motor wouldn't start in some spots.
I finally measured the coils and one is open. Being Minitrix put some kind of epoxy,or whatever, on the windings near the commutator attachments, getting at what's underneath is very difficult if not impossible.
So, I am relegated to begging as I have been unsuccessful using Google or searching on eBay.
Thanks.
Doug
