[GreenKeys] MODEL 19 (15) AC GOVERNED MOTOR KILLED WHAT DO??

[Bruce Gentry]

If the motor only made noise and died without smoke or signs of really 
serious overheating, it may have survived. Check to see the motor 
brushes are of at least minimum length and not sticking in the brush 
holders. Check the governor contacts, sliprings, and brushes. If the 
correct fuse was installed for the motor, it may have done it's duty and 
protected it. Check the resistors in the motor and governor circuit, the 
overload might have fried one of them. Free up the keyboard before 
re-installing it, the governed motor is designed around a reasonable and 
fairly steady load as part of the speed regulation and won't survive 
serious overloads.
