There's an altex electronics there along with another one that is just off of a side street further down the road. I used to buy most of my cable and other networking accesories from them when I was doing network stuff. You can also try Graybar electric off of Hackberry, they can probably get brushes in for about anything if they are bad.

altex is on 281 now, and does more computer stuff, the electronics store over by Aquatic Warehouse that your thinking of, is called ATEX electronics now (same people I think) they sell everything under the sun as far as DIY stuff. I would give it a try, but at this point, I would say you got screwed and leave some heavy negative feedback.

Does Altex also diagnose/fix what's wrong, or are they just a parts store? I'm a little nervous trying to take apart the pump. Isn't the part with the bushings "sealed"?
Not really, they do repair PC's but I doubt they have a clue on a motor.Does Altex also diagnose/fix what's wrong
If you want it checked out by some pro's try, Massengale Armature Works or San Antonio Armature Works.
Bring it to the meeting, we can crack it open there.

hmmm, I hadn't thought about that, Stephan. That's a good idea. I'll also look up the Armature works. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I am out of luck; the auction has it listed "as is". They said it worked when they disconnected it. The good thing is I'm only out of $44. If I can get it fixed, I'll be at least one pump ahead. Lastly, I ended up buying this pump after the auction was over, more or less outside of Ebay. This means I can't leave negative feedback.
