11 Electric Motors....I'm a Pack Rat!!!!!

[Knottscott]

Today I decided that the shop is way past due for a spring cleaning. While sorting through stuff trying to decide what to keep and what to chuck, I counted 11 extra induction motors! I thought I only had 3 or 4! I kept three of them... (1hp Baldor, 1/4hp GE, and an old 1/3HP R/I), sold two of the better ones (Delco 1/3hp & 1/2hp R/I), and chucked 6 of them to the curb (Delco 1/4HP R/I, and some other odd ball small motors). The motors at the curb were gone in 15 minutes. The 2 sold on CL right away...had 4 replies in about 30 minutes before I could respond and edit the listing. It took me longer to find a spot for the 3 I kept!

...can't believe what a pack rat I am!

You KNOW that six weeks from now you're gonna find a use for one of those you got rid of.

you ARE a packrat .... all I have laying around right now is 2 1/3hp motors from old Delta 24" scrollsaws, a 1hp 3 phase motor, a 3hp 3 phase motor and 3 variable frequency controllers.

My wife thinks I'm bad, now I can tell her I'm an amateur

For a rookie, you've got potential though!
