Default Motor Endbell Shorts !!!!Boom!!!!

We have found many solid endbell motors recently with shorts. One or both brushhoods may be shorted to the endbell due to various reasons. These motors tend to run decent, but vary from losing performance to blowing up speedos quickly. This is not a new topic, but it is just becoming realized how damaging these motors can be to electronics with todays batteries and how wide spread they may be. As these motor age and work their way down thru Ebay they may be devastating to the average Joe mid level equipment... and are costing many tenths they do not realize right now.

Anyone else have experience with this issue or interested?
