    Go OEM or rebuilt over those replacements like DENKI. They only last as long as the average Motolite batt. I've had 2 of those copies quit on me barely a year in. No fluke, pure crap.[emoji852]

    I haven't tried any & won't risk to, anymore. I'd opt rebuilds over reps. Having been burnt more than once by the same thing left me indelible scars.[emoji37]

    Most repair shops have Taiwan-made brand-new replacement. They do last as per my experience. After replacement, have the old one repaired for backup/spare. Most of the times its the brush that wears out or a busted regulator and rectifier. Bearings are cheap, and New era IC/Regulator are also cheap.
