Robert,

Again, I have examined the windings in my motor carefully after 
your post, and they are still the nice orange-red poly-thermalize wire 
color with no real corrosion visible after all these years.  I certainly 
wouldn't want to put these in a CW spark suckin' application for service 
in the public domain, but for the amateur, I would image their children's 
children would still have working blowers NOx and all!
