What do you mean by "rewind" the motor? Is that todo with the coil

It would cost more than you would find on eBay
It would take me about 10 hours to rewind the armature including varnishing
And skim the commutator
So I think at the moment with motors still available
Buying motors is the way to go if your armature has shorted or burnt out

Not many motors come on ebay ? There's an armature winding firm other side of town. Wonder how much they charge ?

I would be surprised if they wound it for less than £100
Because of the time it takes it is all done by hand
