Local auto electric joint said it was fried, but maybe they just didn't want to mess with it

More than likely all it needs are new brushes.
You can get a kit to repair those easily.

I like this idea, and I'm going to try it. My starter doesn't look "fried" to me -- just dirty with worn-out brushes. I'll find a rebuild kit and let you know how it goes!
