There is no modding to be done anymore, really. There are a couple of guys claiming to do them, but it is a big load of hooey.

The problems that exist, and the remediation of those problems to ensure good performance and reliability require a rewind of the armature, truing the commutator, ensuring smooth motion of the brushes in the hoods and securing the windings properly to prevent resonance and movement.

Send it to Tackleberry in England.
