Anyone know anyone in the NOLA area that still rewinds AC motors?

Old customer wants a 1950's Sunbeam mixer fixed, has sentimental value and price not object. I can't get a new motor, the copper is scorched on this one, but it should be fine if it was re-wound. This kind of thing I send off to California but the turnaround has sucked lately and I wanted to see if anyone knew anyone locally who did this. It's a dying art as motors now are relatively cheap.

I've had 50 yr old tractor starters and generators rewound. He's very good.

Call Billy at G&M. He has rewound a ton of motors for me 1hp to 100hp. I see a lot of antique fans in for repair. Should be able to handle the mixer.

MC Electric in Amelia, bout an hour & a half ride for you or ship it.

Get all our rewind work, 2000hp down to stuff like your project - not kitchen appliances but small motors of irreplaceable frame sizes, configuration and rpm.

Common to find really small stuff off of old machine tools that are non-standard & purpose built for the gearbox or pump they are connected to. MC does excellent work.

There's a place in Hammond that does it. You take the first exit on 55 after 12, go right, and when the road splits, go left. It's right there. Idk the name of the place

Eta: Nawlins Gator got it

doesn't work when I'm the OP.


Thanks guys for the replies, I got the answers I needed.




Damn. AntiqueTiger the Ebay master for the win. Outside of the box. Lots of good looking ones for great prices. Still going to price getting it rewound, as I don't use used parts unless it's the only option.

I may bring it up to the man tomorrow. His is older than anything I see on Ebay but it looks like they used the same motor from 55-83.

I scoffed when I needed a part for a pre-70 Coke machine and a guy told me eBay. It wasn't that they didn't have the part, it was did I want new, rebuilt, old stock, what S/N range, which finish, etc. Unreal what you can find on there.
