Any ordinary and well trained designer would pick standard parts as much as possible and only contrive custom parts to solve previously unsolved technical problems. Which means many of the parts found in most products are standard of the shelf pieces . This would include bearings slip rings, often shafts collar seals and perhaps even propeller blades. A good motor repair shop could even figure out how to do a stator rewind. I have been in several rewind shops with winding lathes still in use. I tend to look for shops staffed by a few greyheads. Then you know they have the smarts and experience to get the job done right.
