Tom,
Well, that's a good idea and even better news. I've lurked over at the G1 group and there seemed to be a agreement to keep a spare motor for the eventual burnout. That's where that thought came from and one of the reasons I was very reluctant to invest in a G1.
I'm also wondering if the static issues have been addressed? I've read that the G1 was susceptible to static discharges (unexpected CMOS resets) & ground loops created by isolated earth, DC, & chassis grounds & their interactions when crossed. I'm a former electronics technician and learned to hate "floating" grounds with an unrelenting passion. Getting everything from tickled to knocked flat by them is NOT fun(ny).
John.

You might ask if you can get a rebuild motor (normal not Maxim) or yours rebuilt. I have not heard of one Maxim motor going bad so far.
Could save you several hundred dollars if you could.
