Does anyone know someone that rewinds/rebuild these?

I have a couple Lionel HO Locomotives armatures that need to be re-built.
Thanks!

I think Lionel HO collecting is a pretty small minority, so motor rewinding is probably done mainly for old O and Standard Gauge. If you could find out how many turns per pole, you could buy the wire and wind them yourself. You would have to use a keeper across the pole pieces when removing the armature from the field. Worst case scenario, you'd have to replace the original magnets with neodymiums.

These motors also pop up on eBay every now & then.
