Looking for info on a replacement motor for this vintage beer sign. The motor is an intermatic WB- 3660 and is rusted. It runs the jalopy car wheels and rocks the car.
Any suggests welcome.

If you can't find a exact replacement. If it has RPM, fractional horsepower rating on the motor could you post them to determine a possible substitute? How badly rusted? Is it locked up? Some motors can be partially dissassembled, cleaned and reassembled. Just make sure to take pictures as you disassemble it to reference putting it back together. If it's a synchronous motor(no brushes) the only thing electrical part to go bad would be the field windings, you can ohm them out with a meter to check them. If you take the motor out, make sure the drive mechanism is free turning and not locked up. I'll try to check on a motor.
Is the motor a WP instead of a WB?
The motor turns freely. There is no RPM on the housing. Stamped on the housing reads: Electric Motor 125v WB-3660, 25W UL E 22587.
The motor is attached to a transmission housing. I am unable to twist the two pieces apart.
A lot of Intermatic motors were used on timers(ice makers etc) and are similar. If you could find one with same mounting tabs and gear output it might work.
