    I've done it i removed the cam from the original broken motor.. and put it on another motor i found ... The motor seems to be working good, at lower voltages...
    I just heated the cam up with a lighter and it almost fell off on its own.. than i quikly added it to the new motor... before it cooled off... and after that i went with the cam over a wet sponge to cool it off fast for the metal to get to its original shape... and it worked wonders ... !! Its now attatched to the new motor as well as it was attatched to the original one !!
    I mounted everything up (changed to RCA) and started the estethics of it thats still in progress tho )

    LOL thats how i got into playing with the looks of them... I scratched the front plate trying to open it up... and i wanted to make it lookk good somehow..
    Anyways... i opened the front lid first by force... Then make sure u unscrew the last piece in the back (near the jack) and there are some small screws where u should use a very small alan key... If you dont do this first... the cables will get messed up inside when unscrewing the middle part... also by force but it can be done with ya hands i think... 2-3 more small screws to unlock the motor... than unlock the needle bar from the cam, again with a smal alan key.... and there u go ... u got all the parts
