Wheelchair motor needed

Hi Bob

I've obtained motors and gearboxes from Fleinns Medicare Ltd Unit 8, The Dean Estate, Wickham Road, Fareham.

I've no idea if they still exist but you can give them a try. They moved to this address from The Boatyard Industrial Estate, Fareham so ignore any me ntion of the old address online. I last visited them 3-4 years ago.

The arrangement I made was that I dismantled and removed any parts I wanted from whatever was in the skip at the time, in return for a donation to the tea/coffee fund. Make sure any motors you get have got their brushes beca use I've found that they remove the brushes as spares - just ask for them b ack if they are missing.

cheers

Perhaps a bit obvious, but wheelchair motors with gearboxen turn up

Thanks Toby, that sounds like the sort of deal I'm after!

I saw those Peter but was being a bit tight as I'll be experimenting and not sure if one will do the job so skip diving to get one to play with and should that work out, I'd not mind shelling out some of my pension on an ebay one to make a pucker version of my project.

Bob

Bob, can you help an over the pond person with what a "pucker version" means? lol

Jim A

Pucker version would be a final version, proper version etc Not to be confused with "pucker moment or pucker factor" related to risky situations leading to personal buttock clenching which I think is equally used on either side of the pond.

Bob

Thank you, as I was thinking perhaps arse clenching you had me baffled Bob. lol

Jim

It's prolly supposed to be spelt pukka, from the Hindi/Urdu word "pukka" literally meaning "cooked, ripe" and figuratively meaning "fully formed", "solid", "permanent".

Came to mean "correct, real, genuine, proper" in colonial India.
