Reply to comment by PaddleMonkey in It finally needed some repairs after 33 years. by OldPolishProverb

There is no way an aftermarket motor built 30 years after the original is of the same quality.

Could be a rebuilt from original parts as well. Only OP would know.

It was not a rebuild. However, the repairman said the motor is so basic that there hasn’t been any modifications to it in decades. Let’s see how long the new one lasts. I kept the original motor.

Have the original motor rebuilt and put it aside as the spare after 33 years. Pass it down to your next generation!!

So, do you want to set up a Reddit alert to notify you in 10 to 30 years from now when I update?
