Dennis; The motor I have for my 72 Vega has a "Steel V Ring Commutator". Can you educate us on the differences between this motor and a normal ADV or Warp DC motor.

David, and others, the most fragile part, of a series DC motor, is the commutator. And that is, because the copper segments are glued to an insulating core. When the current is flowing, the segments heat up and soften the glue, then they are subjecting to "lifting," away from that insulating core, and causing problems with the brushes, resulting a need for an extensive repair. But, with no (or very low) current, the glue maintains its strength, and the motor can be spun to a higher RPM, without damage.
