I haven't really started looking seriously yet... That is this weekends project.

The part that cooks is an inductor that looks like a resistor, on our motor that burned up we simply cut it out, soldered a piece of copper wire in where it used to be and epoxied the motor shut (we were having difficulties getting the back plates out due to the tiny tabs so we just used tin snips to cut the tabs off) not competition legal but near identical performance without cooking.

Yep...done that a few times already. But if I can get a bunch of $1-$5 motors, that is much easier...
