for a couple years, this weekend it quit spinning. Power light comes on, nobody's home. I am not that electronically inclined, so I'm not sure where to start diagnosing a fix: motor, fuses, circuitry, etc.
Here are some pix of the guts:

Is it worth fixing? Can it be cannibalized as a DIY replacememt project? (I hate throwing anything away.) Should I bite the bullet on a new one? About $65 at LHBS, currently on sale at various sites for under $50.
Thanks for any advice!
