    So the armature for the ball lift motor on my 58 all star bowler is shot. The gear is worn to the point it usually wont lift the ball. Its a 24 rpm motor from what i can tell. Im wondering if there are replacement armatures avail or maybe a new motor retrofit.

    So what was really worn on this motor were the bearings. I couldnt find a quick replacement local, so i just fabricated some thrust washers out of nylon to tighten things up a bit. Works like a champ.

    So the gear wasn't worn or is the thrust washer substitute a different thickness compensating for the gear wear? I take it you mean the gear cut into the end of the armature shaft.

    Yea... The gear cut in the end of the armiture was worn at the tip. The play in the bearing caused the worn gear to slip.
