WURLIE 2000 ROTO MOTORS

[kc1953]

Hi All,
      The pandemic got me to thinking i should get on this Wurlie 2000, it's sitting for 20 years.  I'm looking to see if anyone has any of the roto motors they might
sell.  I have contacted all the usual sources, these are hard to get. Not much going in Kansas, just rain.
Any help-appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi Mark,
Why do you need to replace them ? I have had very good luck, cleaning ( slightly !), and OIL-ing them ?? Please correct me if my memory is "confuzzed", but I seem to recall they were a "24 VAC, open frame, clutch type, motor"-- If my memory is correct, "sitting" for years, won't hurt them at all ! The "clutch" will probably be "stuck"---Ron Rich

Hi Ron,
     I'm glad you started this site, it's the best!  I bought the 2000 box 20+ years ago.  The pages were gone and the motors had a wico board in it's place.  

I bought the reproduction page set up from Victory glass, its very nice.  I have been told by some jukebox folks that have 2000's that the reproduction motors are a bit 
unreliable.  So, i figure i would give it a shot to locate some original motors.  What's weird is, the base plate the motors attach to and the motor frames that the motors mounted on are there, but the stinkin motors are gone.

Someone painted it yellow, I removed a patch of yellow and its a dark bluish green color, not sure what that is?

I'll have to check e-bay, they have been on there now and again.

Once i get into this i'll need some tech help.

Thanks for the reply!
