I have a Magic Mill II. It gets real hot. I took the motor to a motor guy, who ran it and was surprised at how hot it got in a short time. I figured it was the bearing. Now he tells me that the bearing can't be replaced (I can't imagine why, but I believe him, I guess) and he is also pretty sure that the heating is not due to the bearing but to a short in the motor. (I'm not so sure I believe him here, because I could definitely hear the bearing making noise when I turned it by hand; also, I'm pretty sure it's louder than it used to be.)
So what can I do? I would like to save this mill and not have to buy a new one. Or at least get together with somebody who has one with something else wrong and maybe we can work out a deal.
My understanding is that this mill is no longer manufactured.
Thanks much for any ideas, advice, assistance of any kind.
