Try looking for a motor repair shop (or electric motor repair) in your phone
book. They may only charge a few bucks to fix it.

I prefer the phone book myself, but sometimes it confuses me, like, Is
there still a Business to Business Yellow pages and would this
category be in that one.

There is also in the US yp.yahoo.com which is a lot like the yellow
pages, but when I was trying to find the major electric motor repair
store in Baltimore, that I've been to, it didn't seem to come up in
yp.yahoo.com .

Probably not necessary here, but if one can find the right kind of
store somewhere else, the Electric Motor Repair in Baltimore, even if
they are not a mail order store, if you pay them extra they'll often
be glad to put what you need in a box and ship it to you. "Extra"
might not even be that much. They have boxes, tape, pens, and they get
deliveries all the time via ups etc.

For example, not electric motors but Eliot's Hardware in Dallas isn't
mail order, or at least wasn't 14 years ago, but they'll still mail
things out if one asks. I think they charged, for an envelope of
shelf pins, 32 cents to ship them. That was the cost of the stamp.
No other shipping or handling charge. A great store.
