Pete,
Thanks for the tip on varnishing the turns and rubbing.... I intend to get some 'electrical laqcuer' for completion...But didnt realise it had a primary function of retaining...
Does your expertise stretch to 'terminating the coils to the comm segments' ?
Reason I ask is, if the coils are terminated round the comm, does the direction matter? Mine runs the wrong way, so I guess I should have connected up the opposite way?
I have another armature to rewind for a Stanley Fatmax hammer drill,( the field coils are burnt out too..) but a job for another day...
