blower motor and resistor pack

Like most folks I've been dealing with the blower motor only works on setting 4 problem for a few years now, but I could usually clean the contacts on the resistor pack and get another winter out of it. This year the thing is finally dead, with one of the contacts actually breaking clean off. I need a new one. I also need a new blower motor, because it's got a short somewhere in it, probably as a result of the way in which the resistor pack failed. If I try to put 12V to it on the bench I just get some nice sparks.

Since the motor and resistor pack seem to be no longer available, what do folks do about this? Are these Bosch motors rebuildable or can I get a new one from Bosch somehow? And what about the coil pack? Does anybody make something solid state to replace it?

Looking for recommendations on what to do for 924S (early 944 NA style blower setup).

Thanks,

Brandon
