Ok, I've been pulling my hair out all day on this, but I finally came upon this post:

In there cheesehead mentions that the Ohms between the two copper rings that the brushes ride on on the rotor should read ~4 ohms, he said that his read 1.1 so it was bad.

Mine reads .1 ohms, so it must be dead eh? I assumed that if there was continuity between the two rings I was good, but we must be looking at an internal short here I suppose.

Am I on the right track?
