The PHILCO Phorum

[attachment=20747][attachment=20748]OK, motor extracted from the foam rubber goo, ready for microprobing!  looking at rc car motors if this doesn't pan out 24mm series 280? IIRC need to check movie night

[attachment=20761]TPA-1 Replacement motor? 24mm diameter with 2MM shaft should be perfect with the right torque curve 1/2 the rpm of some others

or maybe this one, ordered one of each while I attempt to dissect the original

"All my stuff usually seemed to work better while they were/it was still apart! lol "  

[attachment=20763]tried to retension the brushes but still no continuity, armature looks burned

Just got done replacing C1, .mp3 player sounds pretty decent!  Might keep it on for a while, hope it doesn't need heat sinks on those big 'ol outputs??  Time for the infra-red gun . . maybe better tone with the cabinet closed up . . .
