Rewinding a burnt EM motor winding

Steps

• Measure one strand of the original winding wire with a micrometer.
• Find a scrap coil wound with the same wire diameter.
• Unwind or cut away all of the burnt motor winding.
• Wind the donor wire onto the motor's laminations; neatness isn't critical.
• Aim for about 4 ohms total, or match a good motor from the same game if you can measure one.
• Sand the enamel off the wire ends and solder them to the motor lugs.
