/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I have a pic related that doesn't run. Changed the cap, but still no-go, so must have lunched a winding. I have no interest in rewinding the North Vietnamese hunk of shit. What else can I do with it, other than a fucking doorstop? It's got a couple of OK-grade ball bearings. Could make some kind of spinny kajigger. The case is kind of good - maybe a lamp? Take out the windings and pare down the armature, seal the tips and make a little rotary airlock for ... I don't know. Irony of that is that I'd need a motor to drive it. Derp.
