There should be a sticker stating things like: RPM, Frame, HP, etc. I would be willing to bet you could find a motor from a furnace blower fan to match it up.
Probably (a guess)1725 rpm 48y frame 1/3 or 1/2 hp.

I would contact Doug at Vertex and ask him. He might be able to help you.

vertexmold@hotmail.com

Those spinners have a 1 year full + 2 years limited..

Jim, if you have a Grainger Supply house in your area, you should be able to get one from them. Give them the information off the nomenclature tag on your motor, and they will match it up.

Yup....I was getting ready to suggest that same thing and then seen your post before I posted, to try W. W. Grainger.

They used to. I haven't been there since retiring almost 8 years ago. Try them and see.

Have an electric shop look at it first.  You may be able to get by with having the brushes changed.  --  JohnP
