I've seen replacement motors on EBAY. What are the chances that I'll get a good one there? Would you take it somewhere to be repaired, or do the replacement arts?
Just make sure you take it to someone who repairs the older machines as a rule. So many places nowadays don't, and they'll try to tell you it's junk or can't be repaired and try to sell you a new plastic fantastic. I agree with Mike, a knowledgeable repair person should be able to spot the problem rather quickly.
