That looks Handy, comes from Germany so is it a Siemens Kit?

Sure looks like the real thing, right down to the three motor fixing screws. Only 2 brush springs though, probably lost by seller.

Will post once i get answer from seller.

From all I've read, I reckon fixing a fan motor is a less than 50:50 bet. Maybe if the commutator is OK. Maybe if the bearings are OK. Maybe if the end plate is OK. Maybe...

and maybe you can get the motor open without damaging it further. I couldn't!

At the risk if tempting fate, repaired mine 2 month ago. Still working with no problems yet. Depending on the price of the kit. It is worth a shot as opposed to 100's of quids??? :lol:

I suppose it depends on how early you catch the fan problem, mine used to start and run when assisted by movement of air, then kept running all day. When I stripped it down it was all in good condition apart from two brushes that were obviously very worn.

That seems like a big risk to me?

That's a lot of money for 4 brushes......

That punter would have been better off putting 80 quid towards the £170 Kenlowe kit
