(ET) Note! Newer window motors do not work with Elec-Trak!
Markus has a very nice web page with a description of the Elec-trak lift
motors, along with a suggestion that a 96-2000 chevy S10 motor might work.
I just got one on Ebay; no go.
The bolt pattern is different and smaller, the gear itself is slightly
bigger (so nothing lines up) and the motor itself has a much smaller
armature and is a pernament magnet type motor, not a series wound model.
In other words, it isn't going to work. Being a PM motor, running it
over-voltage will wind up with a permanent field weakening condition
(since the magnets don't change their field) and a burned out armature
in no time.
Time to buy a real one.
