We picked up this P-237 probably four years ago. The P-237, for all intents and purposes, is a P-223 with thermostat control. This fan was cleaned, oiled and waxed.. and on the first run, a pop, flash, and smoke... the motor is fried. Closer examination revealed specks of cracked varnish on the windings, as well as the presence of "copper beads," which are melted parts of failed winding.
Thanks to Tory for providing a replacement motor!
