After 33 yrs of putting food on the table for a family of 4, the Baldor 5 hp motor on my compressor finally had it. 12 yrs ago my elect guy did a winding repair on it but that's been it. Windings finally smoked. Not really repairable IMO. It owes nothing.Only use it for hobby work now but compressor still in good shape so new motor on the way. I'm sure it may be able to be cobbled up to work but what else is worn out at 33 yrs? It's an IR industrial T-30 80 gal 5hp 22cfm@100# and is still the best investment I ever made back in 1981. It will outlast me now..
