[[are you sure it is actually the motor shaft bent, not just the hub?]]

Well that's a good question actually.

What I can see that are slightly bent are the shafts that the reels mount onto. They wobble off-center when I spin the reel mounts. And actually I think I hear a bit of scraping noise when I turn the shafts by hand. And I do not hear that noise when I turn the replacement motors by hand.

I may end up selling the 4 units if I downsize to a south pacific island (philippines), whcih is a real possiblity in the next year or so as it is one way I can see to support my kid when he starts college.

I lived on Leyte for a while in the early 2000s so I know my way around there...
