[Milsurplus] Bendix TA-12 Question and antique cars?

[J Forster]

Nothing special. It is a local small motor repair shop in New Bedford, MA. They exist
because of legacy industrial uses for small special small motors.

There is a place in California that specializes in Bodine that I can point you to, if
that's what you have. Small motor repair is a dying, but not dead, skill.

It's not rocket science. Remember, the thing was built with WW II technology.
(standard shop tools. No CNC or lasers) You could likely do it at home, after a few
tries.

Best,
