the short answer to my question is no ... i split the case today and sent back half to tig welder. the inside of course is full of grime, sludge and shavings. the planetaries would spin about 1/3 turn and lock up. right now its soaking in the solvent tank and we will see what we have to work with tomorrow.
i was worried about the bearings and planetaries given that it was driven dry and making noise.
its gonna be a wait n see as to what this will cost me!
