So I got what Im pretty sure is a 249e motor complete at least until one of the wheels broke to bits due to dry rot. its a non geared wheel but one odd thing I noticed about my 249e motor is that the eccenctric driving screw doesnt match with any of the plain driving wheels instead they have a permanent eccentric driving stud thats part of the wheel ins of a large screw like mine has. is mine An early 249e motor or even from a 249e?

do you all think this prewar motor is a 249e motor or from a 259e 260e, 261e, 262e or even 265e?

Back some years Jeff had a repair shop, until he got so busy with parts he gave it up. He will tell you he doesn't do repairs anymore but if you send him a good clear picture ( low resulusion ) he will tell you what you have and what it will take to fix it. My concern thou, do you need to replace the axle also as it might be worn if the wheel is missing
Yes the gremlins are back, and will be here until the new company comes in and get a new program for a forum installed.

"If it ain't broke..." as the saying goes.
By the way, I tried to respond last night but gave up after 10 tries and fails.
