Another Delta/Rockwell Unisaw motor of the type we need popped up on eBay recently. These 115/230 VAC single-phase motors aren't what I would call extremely rare, but they don't show up very often. From a previous post you know that we bought one for our second Unisaw on eBay a few weeks ago. It came from a fellow in Washington who's parting out Unisaws. The motor arrived promptly, was remarkably well packed, and seems to work fine. Turns out this other, recently posted motor on eBay is also his; but will soon be ours when FedEx arrives.
Despite some waffling back and forth about whether or not to tie up our scarce funds in a motor for the third saw in our restoration queue before we have even started on the second one, we bit. This second motor for the third saw should be here this coming week.
Meanwhile, we have yet to tear down the second saw that we know as D2. Waiting for a convergence of available time, people and reasonably warm weather so we can tolerate being in the shop. Will post details as they emerge.
