This just shows why you buy hammers from Bosch.
22 years old, worn out, bearing collapsed, motor nearly siezed. But with a little TLC, it's running like new again.

This Old Bosch GBH7DE hammers were a deadly machine. 20 years is nothing these machines.
Change the brushes, don't let the bearings go bad, a service when needed, and these these Bosch hammer would never die.

This one was risky, as if the motor was bad, it would not be worth fixing. Also, due to the age and condition of the hammer, a full service probably wouldn't be worth it. especially with a broken tip plate.

Iv learned from experience to simply get it running and dont waste time. If the motor works OK, then try to get it hammering again.
Never assume the motor is good. Always get the motor running first before spending any more time or money on a machine. Otherwise, you could be wasting your time and money.
