Many years ago I used to race "slot cars" which are models with DCmotor
power from a track that provided it. Rewinding motors for more ouput
was common practice.

LAter that skill would be used to repair motros used on odd drives and
otehr applications. It's very doable though some of the smaller ones can
try the patience of a saint opening them up!
