Suitable Lionel 1666 motor replacements-
Posted by Anon34 on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 12:36 PM

Hi everyone-

And I must say it is an honor to be here. However, With a certain virus going around, and quarintine, I got bored of myself and decided to pick up a lionel 1666. The E unit was completley shot- Just, overall, not in very good condition. (Checked in here, and all over the place- Thanks for that by the way!)  Most local stores are closed- Including my local hobby shop- and coming here to see if I can fix the E unit or motor itself. I'm doing some surfing on the bay, and discovered some of the following listings that i think could be contenders for replacing the shot motor.

I have yet to find more, but I suppose that an issue I could hsve is the installation process. Perferably, If you could fine a motor an E unit assembly under 50$- Thanks!
