I am trying to source a coil which has got very little details on it

[Boabski]

I would like some help in identifying and sourcing a coil. I have never seen one like this and there is very limited markings on it.
17-5509 Y7 is marked on one side and all I can make out from the label is Coil 240v 50hz.

What is the application?

Normally with old equipment like that a direct replacement can’t be sourced.

Give it to a motor rewind company to rewind and repair?

The last time I took a motor to a rewind company (about 25 years ago) they laughed at me... I was told that nobody rewinds small motors anymore... cheaper to buy a new one !

Agreed, but when you are looking for something that is not available, repair or remanufacture are the only options

Yes... true. I ended up re-winding it myself in the end, which was actually an interesting exercise and remarkable easy.

Many thanks for the replies, due to its apparent obsolescence I will try and get it rewound.
what is this kind of coil called?

If i'm understanding the photo correctly, it's a solenoid.
Suggest you send photo's to whoever you ask to repair it.

I suspect the laminations will have to be disassembled and the bobbin removed, so cost will depend on that as well as the actual rewinding.
