Re: (ET) Lift motor ideas?

[Bill Alburty <willaim kc rr com>]

What are the specs on those Cadillac/Buick window motors? Does anyone 
know the current draw under normal load, inch-lbs of torque, bearings, 
any other ratings? Are they made for only intermittent use or can they 
go for long periods without over heating? I have another project that 
this size of motor might work on. Appreciative of any info.
