We're now talking about a complete armature replacement as part of a generator rebuild. But we are still probably looking at a complete "modernization" at some point over the next couple of years.

Thanks,

Getting a amature rewound and getting the commutator under cut and changing the brush rigging is not that uncommon. With a full maintenance contact should cover that. Its expensive and sounds like you are gettting a bs story to push the mod on you so the elevator company does not have to eat the cost.

You're right Sbrmilitia. But you got to remember this is a condo and this is a board member of the condo. Every expenditure will be picked up by the condo owners and have to presented by the board member to the owners for a vote. (Ususally)

And as with most government contracts..LOW bid wins. And it's considerably cheaper for a new generator rather complete new controls.
