It is possible to disassemble the motor and rewind it.

I'm looking for a motor from a G5500. Its for the elevation section, but I would guess the azimuth uses the same motor. I have a short on one of the windings, so actually all I really need is the winding assembly.
Does any body have such a thing surplus to their needs?
Thanks
