Like most hams, I use whatever brand I can find at a swap meet. Never had a
bad one, except for the one that came without a brush to connect to the
windings.

My theory is that if you find an old well used one, it means that it was a
good design and will likely last the rest of your life.

Beware of a like new used one - there may be a reason it was not used much.
