A Beautiful Picture!

Beautiful, isn't it?

John Plut, you were dead on target.

Now comes the question: What caused it? Do I simply replace the armature and keep the motor and gearbox, or was this caused by a failure of the motor to disengage, i.e. I need a whole new assembly (in which case I am going to a junk yard)?

Any help and enlightenment would be much appreciated!
