Window motors and gearbox value quicky

PostPost by: Bitsilly » Wed May 04, 2022 7:08 pm

I have put away the window motors that came with my 'project' for now until I am ready to build up the doors.
In the meantime I have inherited a pair of incomplete window motors which I will have to spend a few pence on parts to restore.
Is there a general recognised value for a good condition rebuilt window motor, complete with gearbox and plate etc?
I would like to know because it would be a shame to bin the parts, I would much prefer to restore them and sell them to someone who is in need, but at least at cost.
So a restored window motor and box, how much?
Cheers

It seems due to him seeing this post that the parts I was buying to get one of the motors working are no longer for sale to me.
So I now basically have two plates and very good gearboxes for windows motors, one two prong elan thingy, and two rotors, but no working motor parts as all the magnets on the casing on mine are broken, although the cases are ok, what is missing is the brush housing and intact magnets.
If they are of any use to anyone please let me know.
Ideally I’d like to swop one gearbox, casing and rotor for a working motor.
It seems a shame to bin the lot.
Cheers all

Ps the reason I asked the original question is because a friend of mine is after a complete assembly but I don’t think he wants to pay £200.
Stay safe and healthy people!
