Gary,

At those prices why don't you find a local electric motor shop and I'll bet
they can test and repair or replace yours with a generic motor.  Small
motors are usually not very expensive.  If you can remove it, or have it
removed, and take it to the electric motor shop...it's just another 12v
motor to them.  If it's sticking it might just be some $1 bushing.

John
