Thanks Larry.
One thing I noticed that I captured in the first picture above of the armature, is that there looks like a wire broke off.  When I look at the armature I see 2 other copper wires that are connected to the top, but this one appears to be broken off.  In the pic above it kind of looks like the copper wire might be hidden behind some grime, but in fact it's broken off.  I'm thinking it's important and needs to be wired on?  Just not sure if that would stop the motor from running?

Thanks
