The only spare motors I have lying around are model 30 (xxx) motors. HOWEVER, I'm putting a link in here to an older thread my friend Nathan Thomas responded to where he gave instructions on how to rebuild a motor from a Super J which is the same motor as an Olympia one. You mentioned in your profile that you're mechanically inclined so this rebuild should be rather fun for you! Good luck! They O1 is a great machine, I just used mine last night to clean our 3000+ home!

Stripped screw heads can be a pain; however, there are ways to deal with them. The best thing I've found is a tool that taps down onto the screw with a hammer. Once it gets seated into the screw head, it can then be turned.
If you have an amp meter, you can check each segment on the commutator for continuity. If they all check out OK, then you might want to save the motor. Let us know what you decide to do! |
