Took the guts of the 211 apart to see if I could save it. Virtually everything that could be bad, was. The input coil is open. Pot metal disintegrating. The two coils around the armature are both open and the wire connecting them was so corroded it crumbled. A screw head just fell off when I touched it with a screwdriver. It’s beyond my skill level.
