vintage AIR CONDITIONERS

[DADoES]

Rotor on the outside, stator on the inside. The entire exterior body of the motor rotates with the shaft and attached fan or squirrel cage.

So I guess there are a few "tabs" with which the motor is mounted? (Of course these can't rotate.)

Anyone have a pic or a linkie?

this is the design of the fan motor in the old Sears Coldspot I mentioned further up in the post. I guess the Sears air conditioners were built by whirlpool during that era too!

"inside out" motors were common in broadcast cart machines ,turntables,Reel deck capstan motors.Replaced or serviced lots of these-bearing replacement was easy.Also found these motors in Studer-Revox reel drives in their reel-reel tape machines-they used ALL outer rotor motors in their machines.Find these machines in LOTS of radio stations and where I work.At present-digital technology is replacing these machines.
