The motor on my 1960's era BP Power Feed has died. A screw from the capacitor cover fell into the motor and damaged the windings. This is the VERY old gearbox style power feed unit and apparently the motor was made by the OEM just for Bridgeport. It is NOT a 6F or 8F. Has anyone had luck finding another one of these motors or modifying the gearbox to accept a newer style motor? If I can't find a way to fix or repair this, it becomes a bigger pain (and $$$) adapting the longer leadscrew to use a Servo style feed unit. I'm still in the process of getting quotes to rewind the motor, but one company has already told me $900-$1200, which is out of my price range.
