Need New Compressor Motor

inertia said

My 5 h.p. compressor motor melted (220 v),, and I need a new one.. any suggestions where I might find a reasonably priced new one, other than Harbor Freight, they don't carry one that big apparently, and I was leary of using one if they did....

any help/opinions appreciated,

In the Pacific Northwest.. thnx .. grant

You can usually find a Compressor or Electric Motor at a Machine Shop and/or Industrial Shop 'Auction'.

Check the Sunday Newspaper.........

I just picked up a 10 Horsepower '3-Phase' Saylor-Beal Compressor in
very good condition for $800 at an Industrial Shop Auction.

Worth a shot,,,,,,,sometimes you can 'scap up' an Electric Motor for $40.
