Looks like you need to buy your self a com lathe and start rebuilding.I use old motors in most of my runners and just keep rebuilding them when they need it.Nothing better than seeing a period correct motor in your car.

Sell them as a lot on eBay and put the money towards a single brushless motor.

They are good to make a roller more 'complete' if you decide to sell it

I have the top left and the green machine 2.
haven't ever used them.
...went straight to brushless on the rc10t after buying it on Ebay.
What did you think of those motors? Memorable at all?

If you were to keep any of them, the Trinity Monster stockers and the Revtech would be good for place holders on vintage shelfers if they cleaned up nice.

I run a set of Sapphires in my Clod, I have a set of nib Onyx as well.
Those motors don't even look like they were run - you didn't photoshop them did you ...
Like the others have said, either ebay them or rebuild them and save them for other projects. The Sapphires I've been running are quite a few years old now, while there is wear and tear on the outside of the can, they still look and run great on the inside. Still on the original brushes and comm with no scoring, pitting, or burning, and I'm willing to bet that my motors have been run harder and in worse environments than yours.
