Well went along to this Radio event this morning, it was abit overcast with some drizzle, but ok.
Walked around for about 20mins when i spotted something on a stall, i couldn't belive my eyes, a C5 Motor in near mint condition minus the gearbox and the small bearings and cogs. All wires and connections intact.
The stall holder had no idea what it was , only that it was a motor ....
I asked how much and he said give me a couple of quid, dug deep in the pocket for my change and could only offer him a ten pound note, he didn't have any change and said how much change you got, quick count up =60p. That will do he said, i just want to get rid of it.
Thanks you very much and have a nice day .... ;
I then made a hasty retreat !!
So a good day this end, also got some unrelated C5 stuff, but this must be cheapest C5 motor ever ..
Gave it a quick test when i got home, bearings all good (like new), brushes also in great condition as well.
So very pleased, nearly didn't go as well ... It will be up on e bay later starting bid of £200
