    I dont think you are going to find a motor assembly so much as parts to
    repair the motor.

    Look here and check you serial number.

    Do you know what's wrong with it? A set of brushes can be had on eBay
    for small money ($10-$15). It might be worth a try.

    Bigger issue than brushes. There was a spactacular display of sparks and
    smoke when I turned it on. The circuit breaker would continually blow when
    the saw was plugged in .

    Ereplacement parts said the parts were discontinued and not available ---
    no replacement to be had.

    I'm trying to imagine what might happen when a brush
    wears down to nothing and/or breaks apart into wee bits -
    and the brush spring attempts to get involved with the
    internal electric parts ... hmm ... smoke & sparks perhaps ?
    .. it's a pretty simple place to start some trouble-shooting -
    before replacing the motor..

    Yeah --- I thought about that also and looked. Brushes had plenty of
    life in them and wiring was ok -- I couldn't see much of the armature or winding with just the rear cover off. I haven't removed the entire
    housing -- yet.
