I have 16 D&S 3 motor oval vacs. They have a unique motor hold down that holds all three motors with a common part. I have used the Ametek GS motors in them for years. The last time I ordered them from Kleen-Rite they told me that they had been replaced by the VMK-19 which they shipped. I needed to use one yesterday only to discover that the lower part of the motor is about 1/4" taller rendering the motors useless to me. I know KR will take them back, but where do I find motors that will fit? I checked the Ametek site and it looks as if the GS motor is indeed obsolete. Anyone know of other vac motor brands that may work?
