You could search for "pinion shaft". I seem to have my cookie privacy

Yeah altho don't know how I'd manage to graft one of 'em onto the
armature shaft in place of the bad one...

Got me wonderin' if there's a generic supply of armatures out there
somewhere--a couple of spare parts manufacturers showed in a (very)
quick DAGS--mayhaps some more digging on that end might find something
of same/similar-enough dimensions, who knows???
