Awesome to share your knowledge in this way. I have always found that the best techs are also teachers at heart. Thank you for providing all that info - you certainly made me want to run out and buy a 227 in need of TLC!
One question, of the myriad of part numbers you listed above, how much success did you have in obtaining replacement parts? I'm guessing that items such as the armature laminations or bearings are not likely to be found anywhere at any price, other than through teardown, or custom made at your local machine shop?
Thank you David, your efforts are appreciated!
