Got the STL all broke down tonight. Gonna take the motor to the local motor shop I deal with and have them check it for me. Everything spins great so not sure what's up with it. Was going to hook it to my converter and see what happened but decided it's safer to have the shop check it.

Also popped the cover off the P-10 to see what was in there. Jeb was right it's a Baldor. It's pretty rusty inside the motor. I need to get into the chopper and see how it spins

So I spoke to the the chief where I got these. He said the STL was moved from the old station to the current on in 85. He is going to ask his father (ex chief) if he remembers when they got it.

The P-10 was given to them by a guy that moved to the area from Long Island. He said it was supposed to be used at a power plant but never was. I'm wondering if it was though cause it's obviously been used

Update on these 2

Dropped the STL motor off to the shop on Friday. Hopefully they can test it and tell me what's wrong with it

Yesterday I was looking at my ACA cabinet and noticed some interesting stuff. As you can see in these photos all the fuses look blown and there's a few things broken in it. I sent a message to a guy Jeb to me to get a hold of but haven't heard back from him yet. Hopefully this is all an easy fix

Bottom picture is a broken heater element, next picture is the inside of the potential relay(broken).

So you're saying the big plastic piece that's with the thing with the push button is the heater element? which would make the coil part of a relay? There is nothing near that coil piece other than them two wires I don't see how that would be part of a relay. Not doubting you cause I have no idea just confused how that works
