<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Big THANK YOU to Aren for the conatct info at DODA
USA.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There should be a new replacement headed my way in
a week or so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The contact person is out of office till early next
week, but did e-mail me right back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He's going to get me the info and
pricing upon his return first of next week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I dismantled the old motor and found it
basically melted down and locked the armature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Figured what the heck, it ain't going to get more
broke so....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cussed, yanked, more cussing and finally
pulled the armature out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>10 min. in the lathe and all the burnt stuff
was gone and it was all shiney again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Polished the brush contact area while it was
spinning with some emery cloth and it was time to re-assemble.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put it all back together and SHAZAM,
the the gods smiled has the little motor that couldn't decided it could
after all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Doesn't sound to good and it runs a bit warm, but
it works well enough till the replacement arrives.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some days in the life of a Silly Little Car
owner just make one say OOOOO! AHHHH!.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Later ya'll,</FONT></DIV>
