Latest update. Stripped the motor down a bit and one of the brushes had
disintegrated.
Have a 7k armature to frame short on every segment of the rotor.
I think the bits of brush or summat have cause it to seize. maybe
overheat and burn through the insulation.
80 quid is best price I can find on this motor - type no 904/1158/08
CPC do armatures too.
Too much hassle.
Im up for a new motor.
Tried to clean it up - no joy. Its a permanent semi-short and I have
just today to fix it.
By the time I have faffed around and ordered new brushes and armature
and and and I might as well get a replacement, drop it in and get drunk. :-)
