It's ALIVE AGAIN!!! nanner
I (of course) opened it up and discovered that the rear bearing (near the brushes) had seized up and spun in the housing. So I went down to the local bearing supply and bought a replacement bearing. Used a little epoxy to reinforce the housing around the bearing and set it aside to cure. Today I plugged it in and nothing, so tore into it again and discovered that one of the brushes was hanging up. Fixed that and it roared back to life. So I still have a spare. thumbs_up

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
