>T-listers,
>  My TD engine is being rebuilt, so I took the starter to my friendly 
>local starter/generator shop to have them solder in new brushes.  The 
>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?
