When you call, be prepared to talk for a while—lovely older gentleman.

The trouble with the motors tends not to be electrical unless they truly burn up. He tells of small gears in the motor that are nearly impossible to find. From age, heat, and wear, they crumble. I believe he finally found a limited source for the gears. I did buy a cheap motor on eBay a couple of years ago as a core. It was burnt up and rebuildable. He told me that given the age of these things, there is a high probability of a failed unit being just that. Owners don't want to hear it, but we are dealing with a motor from 44 to 59 years old.
