> Hi all....
Hi Steve, one of the 'all' checking in. Gyro gearloose suggestion follows.
Consider this. It should be easy to find the winding segment with the
short. A low-reading ohmeter like a Fluke 77 is ur friend here.
I think neighboring commutator segments will show the short to ground.
Lift/cut the leads to the bad section leaving the leads to the
good bracketing windings intact... finding which is 'bracketing"
& which isn't cud be tricky. Then run jumper between two
segments where leads cut.
No experience with this but gud chance some reader's done it & can
correct any goof - liked half armature developing 1kv, other half doing
940v & there's some 'fighting*.' But PE73's an old girl & might at this
stage be able to take a joke.
'rm
*fix might be to symetrically detach/jumper segment on other side of
hv commutator
