**** Yeppers. I think by "shaft" you mean the commutator. There wouldnt be
much left after they cut the copper to make it clean.
I think I got my replacement motor at cost + 10%, so I opted for a new motor
. . .which is sitting happily in a box on the shelf.

Still, it would be an interesting project if I could find new brushes.
