Perhaps the LARGE sparks only happen in Texas?

It was a while back actually, I was just about to throw out the router recently and thought to ask here. I don't remember exactly how it happened, probably a few sparks, but the whole process was very quick. There is definitely a peice missing from one of the brushes.

My dilema is simple, $15 for the possiblity of fixing the Craftsman or $90 for a new Bosch.

When in doubt, get both. You could put the Craftsman in a router table and use the Bosch for hand work. Definitely give the brushes a try. They are an inexpensive first step. I bought a 'broken' Porter Cable 690 for $15 at an auction, put new brushes in ($11 I think) and it worked like a champ. I use it to this day.
