    Question Bossman digs up 1st Gen Swashdrive

    Talking about rotaries again with the shop owner last night, he remembered something, went digging in his drawer O stuff and pulled out a, never been tattooed with because he was to scared to, and drawered it, first gen swashdrive. Ohhhhhh my eyes got a bit bigger.

    He no longer has the lab supply and while it runs off his PSU, it surges (RPM spike).
    So, we broke it down to see about replacing the motor.

    Has anyone done this and does anyone know of a suitable replacement.
    This little sucker has a unmarked (most of the inked numbers came off with the fish scale sticker) Johnson motor. The only numbers were partials; 322 and 366.
    This one is about 35mm x 25mm (may need to remeasure) 14mm shaft @ ~3mm.
    Mounting holes ~8mm from center (o O o). I've done some brief searching this morning and emailed the Swashdrive folks to see if I get a response to this swashy antique. I'm finding the shaft D to be a bit of a pain to match.

    Thanks

    The RPM surge isn't good.
