Hi Louis, I just picked up a small collection of Postwar Lionel. There just happens to be a 2343 Power A (Santa Fe) unit. There is no Dummy A unit but there is a B unit with the collection. I'm going to sell off most of the items so the Power A unit is available if you want it. I'll check it in the morning to see if it runs correctly or if it has any problems. The chassis is clean with no battery damage. Let me know if you are still interested. Regards, LionelFlyer

If it works I might be interested. If the shell is scratched that's ok as I will be replacing it. |

Hi Louis, I checked the Power A unit. The E unit cycles properly and the front motor seems to be turning, although slowly. However, the back motor appears locked. Probably by 55 years of caked in grease. It also appears the last owner did a sloppy job of re-wiring. It undoubtedly needs to be completely overhauled. I really don't have the time to overhaul this piece and re-wire it. If you want it as-is, you can have it for $100 plus shipping (probably about $10.50). Let me know. LionelFlyer

Does the rear motor turn or is it completely locked? I'm just wondering. I have no problem taking apart motors and cleaning them but I have no way to rewind them if they are bad. Wiring is easy as I have wiring diagrams. |
