    Default GMC compressor

    I have a GMC compressor with a failed winding; I've tried a repair but obviously the varnish has melted off the wires within the coil bundle.

    I also hate throwing things away...

    Does anyone have one of these that has failed by any other reason that they would like to be rid of? I'd make one out of the two.

    I'd pick up anywhere in Sydney or Canberra or surrounds.

    The motor housing is cast integrally with the compressor crankcase, making replacement with an other unit unlikely. I could do something Heath Robinson - press a pulley on the armature shaft and mount an external motor; but that might be too thrifty even for me...

    GPT Tools got all spares when GMC went under

    They are in Hume Hwy, Campbellfield, Vic. They have a website and might be worth a try.
