Sold as "spares or repairs" because "sparking"
Only paid a fiver.
I've come to open it up, with a view to ordering new brushes...
It's not the brushes.
One of the bars is missing from the commutator, so it's sparking as it jumps the gap.
A new armature is c.£130

Not gonna happen!
So.
Worst case scenario if I carry on using it?
Apart from the fire risk if sawdust gets in the way of the spark?
It sparks horrendously, but am I right in thinking, I'll lose a little bit of power, and wear out the brushes much faster? But not much else.
As it stands now, it's scrap, so I've nothing to lose, really.
