Where should I look to get a 1/4 HP cap start single phase 220v motor to
replace the clapped out one (nasty noises and smell of ozone) at present on
my lathe?

Any hints/tips/pointers/offers .... all welcomed.

When the washing machine did that it was just pleading for new brushes!

I do have a motor to that sort of spec, which runs OK. Think its a "GEC" -
I'm near Blackpool if you are close you could take a look see what you
think.
