Here's the breakdown of what it would cost you:

1. Ball Bearing Can - $11
2. Neodymium Mags - $8
3. High-Temp Endbell - $0.80
4. High Perf Brushes - $3.30

That is $23.10 plus add in the expense of some motor to provide the armature that you must spend hours rewinding and then your magnet wire, and about $0.50 for the 2 caps.

Even the Do-It-Yourselfer can barely make the equivalent of an 'R-Tune' for the same amount of coin unless they happen to already have the parts laying around.

...hence the reason why I never wanted to get into the motor-making business...
