If the wiring is still good, then cleaning and putting new brushes in a motor takes about 10 minutes. Personally I'd rather have a 301 than a 401. I don't care for the 401 or 500 Singers but I love my 301s. I don't use them for FM work though so can't comment on that other than to say I know someone who does.
