I have this electric powered pressure washer that I want to fix. At
this time, it appears (from talking to the tech of the airport that
got rid of it) that the motor has an internal short. I would want to
confirm this first, but let's assume for a moment that this is the
case. The two obvious alternatives are buying a new motor or
rewinding.

The motor is "6 HP" (sic), 3450 RPM, 182T frame, single phase motor,
23 amps IIRC.

The best local quote that I got for rewinding this motor is $339. Is
this in a reasonable ballpark or should I look harder?

I will try to test this machine during the weekend.
