Three questions actually. First, are there any guides, manuals or tutorials around describing how to disassemble and reassemble a Lamb through-flow motor for inspection and cleaning. On two of my current projects I can see the fans are dirty (you already saw how filthy the vacuums were, see Sunday Fun in the Kitchen Sink and Kenmore High Desert Restoration Facility.
Second question, if commutator brushes are replaced, how does one accomplish the 1/2 and 3/4 voltage bed in? What equipment should I buy to accomplish this task?
Third, is it safe to assume a new in the box Ametek-Lamb motor already has the brushes properly bedded in or did I ruin a new motor two years ago by taking it out of the box, putting into a vacuum and running it at full current?
Thanks.
