Sory but i got to ask, are you sure its the stator and how have you tested as in 30+years i NEVER seen a fried stator, if it really is any 500/550 four will fit

Ah well that is a MECHANICAL fault, bit like wiping the cover off in an accident, seen that regularly just aint seen an electricaly fried one.

I had one where one of the varnished wires was broken and just soldered it back together and it worked fine
