I saw lots of Hoover motors and even chain drive instead of belt drive on early sound heads

I got 4 screens with chains. They came out a Pacific Theatre then went into a reopened GCC that lasted for 5-6 years then into my drive in in 98. I also still use the orange ORC consul that I bought with them

Rewinding that motor could easily cost several times what you would pay for a replacement if one is available. If a drop in replacement can be had toss the dead motor.
