>T-listers,
> My TD engine is being rebuilt, so I took the starter to my friendly

>old timer cleaned it up and all the cotton wrap washed off the field
>windings. He didn't do anything wrong; I had noticed the wrap
>dangling when I gave the starter to him.
> Today he told me that the insulation between the strips of copper
>that are wound to make the field coils is suspect, and that he is
>having trouble locating the insulation. It looks like 3/16" gasket
>paper to this layman. Is that insulation available anywhere, and can
>it be pressed into the space between the copper once the fields are
>unbolted and removed?
