GE F-135
#2

Howard2 Wrote:I have a GE F-135 radio with a tuning motor that is defective. Does anyone have as parts chassis or a replacement motor for this unit. We are attempting to get the motor rewound but price is very high. Thanks for any help.

What is the defect with the tuning motor, is it burned out or seized? Most radios with motorized tuning had a fuse right on the motor so it would typically blow if the mechanism jammed or something else overloaded it. Most of the time the motors are just seized from disuse, taking them apart, cleaning, and lubricating them usually fixes it. One more thing to check, some of these have either a start or a run capacitor to make them work, not common but it does turn up. I would not have it rewound except as a last resort, chances are that more then one model and even more then one manufacturer used the same motor, I would look for one from a parts chassis.
