A simple and cost-effective way to purchase a replacement General Electric DC motor 368AT is to purchase one that is used. However, not all used motors are the same, and when it comes to making an investment in the uptime for the system, the choice of the best possible motor for the price range for the budget is always the most critical factor.
Shopping for a General Electric DC motor 368AT is not difficult, and there are many different options in sellers, as evidenced by a quick online search. The challenge is not in finding a seller, but in finding a reliable seller offering a quality product that is going to be reliable.
Online Auctions
One place to find a low cost General Electric DC motor 368AT is through an online auction. However, as with most things that are low-cost, there is also a higher risk factor for the buyer. These motors are typically sold “as is,” and the buyer is taking the seller’s word as to the operational condition of the motor. Additionally, the buyer covers the freight on the delivery of the motor, and there is rarely the option for a return.
Private Sales
Private sales are less risky for the buyer, but they still require the buyer to pay shipping. With these types of sales, even if the motor is demonstrated as in working condition, there is limited ability to determine past repairs on the motor and how well-maintained it was over its life cycle.
Purchases through Established Surplus and Used Motor Companies
The most effective option for any buyer in purchasing a used or reconditioned motor is to make the purchase from an established surplus and used equipment company with a top reputation.
These companies offer a full online inventory of their GE DC motors. They provide information on the condition, including if it is used or reconditioned. They even offer warranties, all at a much lower price than new motors on the market, making them the best choice in the market.
