Anyone have a good lead for replacement/repair of the control coils for a National Pneumatic 64 volt door opener? Any leads on replacement coils, or somewhere to do a rewind would be most appreciated

Already have been down the multiple Wabtec roads (as successor to NP/Vapor), with no tangible success.

Please contact me at jisaksen@eldcps.org.

John,
My suggestion would be to upgrade to a readily available Graham White Sales solenoid valve perhaps an 816 or 812 would work

if not most motor shops will rewind magnet valve coils.

Thanks to RyPN's network of spies, we found out that the coils indeed are available from Vapor Bus/Wabtec.

So, to steal a line from Arlo Guthrie, "if you may know somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar situation..." the replacement Vapor Part # for the 64 volt coil in question is 56230472-04.

Thanks to Those in the Shadows who helped out!
