    Pfffft, if it was a mod, would most likely have been a standard motor modified to customer's specs. This shouldn't be to difficult for them to research some information, since they probably have a nearly identical model. They probably didn't because you are just looking for information and not looking to replace it. However, they may have a life cycle to old prints/documents and are just burning old prints. Not really common to my knowledge. All companies I have dealt with are borderline packrats, especially the engineering department. Fun fact, I got to go through documents from a crane company that were over 100 years old. Boring, but fascinating. Another fun fact that I didn't remember until now, my brain is like a terribly organized file cabinet, old motors had a significant portion of insulation from asbestos. This is ***possibly*** not an issue if there is no damage to anything inside, but it does raise my hackles from an overly conservative safety stand point. Not that this was related to the crane company's documents on the stators that they wound themselves and were eventually sued for..... *WINK*

    Which reminds me that the motor company might be legally required to disclose any information or documents on products containing asbestos....
