The model C-1 used a Black and Decker motor, using 5 amps.
Model C-2 used a Lamb motor using 5 amps Models C-4, C-5, C-6, C-7 used a Lamb motor using 7 amps C-8 and C-9, plus the Tri-Star CXL models all used a Lamb "High Efficiency" motor using 10 amps. The field coil is too large to fit the motor bucket (the black cap over the field coils that allow the machine to be used as a blower), so swapping a High Efficiency Lamb motor into a C-4, C-5, C-6 or C-7 is not possible unless you get rid of the motor bucket (and the ability to use the exhaust air as a blower to unclog a hose, for example). |

Just in case anyone was wondering, when Tom Gasko mentioned above the Ametek high efficiency motors won't fit, he's right. But a Canadian single speed Filter Queen Ametek 6 amp double stage motor will fit & is a perfect substitute for the Compact motor. It also pulls 80" waterlift as the Compact motor pulled. The motor in the link below is exactly identical in appearance & size, it just pulls 90" waterlift & uses 8.3 amps instead, so it might be easier to just get this motor instead of trying to find a Filter Queen dealer in Canada & try to convince them to sell & send you this motor.
