HiMy huge vintage Wolf bench grinder went pop (literally). I initially suspected the capacitor, but it was actually the now-incredibly brittle wire between the motor and the switch that had worn through the insulation and shorted out.I would really like to repair this as it's a terrific bit of kit, so hopefully you can help me with a couple of questions, as the iffy cable goes right in to the motor winding.Firstly: what is the tape/binding that goes around the copper winding called, as I will need to cut at least some of the bindings,Secondly: will it all spring in to an unruly bird's nest when I do cut them? Or will it retain its shape? I am guessing the latter, but thought it worth asking!Thanksp.s. this is single phase.[ATTACH=full]185934[/ATTACH]
