MG Exterminator motor cleanup
Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2025 11:33 am
This motor was filthy inside and out, had crusty old tape wrapped around the outside, and had a partially collapsed brush hood. The tape came off easily (adhesive was dried out) and it protected the decal well.

The armature has welded commutator and epoxy balancing. The end bell is a black EPIC with gold brush hoods and side plates. The pink can and black end bell are similar to some Trinity motors from the era. The 4 hole, 4 notch timing ring is interesting. I haven't seen one like that before.

Other than the chipped paint, it cleaned up really nice. With new brushes and original springs it spins up very quickly and smoothly.
