is your existing motor beyond repair?

Oh, yeah! Its definitely beyond my concept of repair. I got the coupler
and mounting plate off the motor, and I could see the plug that holds the
springs washers and bearing in tight was pushed out. Thinking this might be
a repair suitable for a learning experience on the mini lathe (bore hole,
rethread, and make a new plug), but when I got the end cap off I found the
casting around the shaft was broken and the shaft was pushed forward. This
motor definitely took a blow, and not a glancing one. I guess I could send
it to somebody and hope they give me a couple dollars off for a replacement,
but this one is crumbled toast. I suspect I would be beter off just to save
the parts for some future project and take the winding to the recycler.
