It appears that Banzai is going to be the way to go if I want new cans with fresh magnets and new bearings. By the time you zap the magnets and replace the bearings, then buy a new armature, it just doesn't add up. BanzaiMom, I'll be in touch soon.
take the hoods off and dip them in some brasso or copper cleaner.. but make sure to use a brush hood realigning tool when you place them back on. you can buy new bearings and the motors can be cut many times before worrying.
