MG TD TF 1500 - Repair of fan motor for heating unit

1954 mgtf
The wiring inside the 50+ year old fan motor for the passenger compartment heater has died. Does anyone have a source to whom I can send the fan motor for repair/rebuilding?
Thanks,

Most fan motors are a pretty simple electrical motor ... any electrical starter/generator shop or for that mater, an appliance shop should be able to repair it... have you troubleshot if power is getting through the switch or to the switch?

The switch works: I am getting power to the fan. My local electric motor repair guy declined to help, mumbling something about the brushes being antiques. Do I keep trying locally or do restorers of older cars have a source?

Ed, I would suspect that Ben Cordsen would be the fellow to contact if it's one of the Arnolt/Moss units. He frequently rebuilds them for resale on ebay. I believe I have his e-mail at home if someone else doen't pop up with it.
