SHORTING BRACELETS

[growlybear]

I am looking for a source for a shorting bracelet for an old Century Repulsion Start / Induction Run Motor, 1.5 HP, 870 rpm, P10B Frame. Any suggestions?

Bone up on your machining skills!

It's not likely you will find anyone making replacement parts for those old motors. Century has been bought and sold maybe a half dozen times since that motor was made, new owners rarely bother with support for old products.

I was able to find a piece of wire suitable for restringing the "jewelry" years ago. The last time I saw a Repulsion/induction motor was almost 40 years ago and it was old then. (Very old)
Good luck.

You might try and find a motor repair shop locally. It is a possibility they may have some old parts. It's worth a shot.
