Is this repairable or is it time to move on?
Should I attempt to repair or move on? Also, any suggestions on the Blendtec model I should purchase next?
Picked this one up in 2009/2010 from a neighbor…$150. My family of 8 has been using it ever since. Unreal!!
Recently (over the last 6-8 months) our blendtec started sounding loud-er as if it was metal on metal. I dismantled the entire unit today and discovered the following: (see photos). Assuming the bearings wore out causing the rotor /drive shaft /commutator segments to turn off axis leading to this grinding and the pitted effect? Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments?
Purchased this Blendtec Model: ES3 Serial #: 12222 up 14 years ago from a neighbor. I’m pretty sure it’s gameover for this machine.

Here are the disassembled parts for reference. It's important to note that dislodging the rotor from the motor base—the part on which the blender jar sits—was challenging due to a snug fit. A hammer and a steel punch were needed to tap it out successfully.

@seanallen23447 not sure about game over yet but definitely a chewed up armature :-). What does the stator look like? I suppose it'll be similar :) Just out of curiosity, what happened?
