Within about 3-4 years somebody had posted on using a can/pancake to repower a 2037 or other Prairie/Adriatic (I'm recalling a 6 driver unit, but just maybe a 4 driver. The short fat can fit in the frame, he pressed a gear on and maybe had made a mount plate or drilled for the can motor mounts; I forget.
Lost a little torque but was easier to manage if I remember right.
I'd search with "pancake motor" " repower" re-motor" and "2037" a few other small 6 driver numbers.
While it isn't a tin era post (it was post war), I think the motor # would work. I had it saved but it's in the memory of a dead phone. (If you find it, I'd love a heads up reminder of who & when they did it.
