Default Re: Siemens Schuckertwerke desk fan - motor rewinding advice?

Hi Ed
Here is a pic of the back of the fan (other side) showing the main winding. I believe it's fine.

John, you might be right, the burnt wire could be an old type of resistor. You probably can't tell from the picture but the burnt part has three wires coming off it into the main power cable so it might be for the speed.

Is there some literature available on replacing this type of resistor? Or perhaps a professional I can get in touch with? While I know a bit about replacing cables I'm not a electrician!

I'll do some better pictures when I'm home later if needed.

Thanks in advance
