Tunze 6105 broken shaft

I have a Tunze 6105 that I bought in 11/2012. I took it apart today to clean it and the shaft was not attached to the block anymore. I'm pretty sure I can't run it this way and I'm not sure if there is any warranty left (I seriously doubt it). I was just wondering what it would cost to get it fixed.

Best case, free, if the seat for the shaft is not stripped, I can usually install a new shaft. Worst case, $111.36 for a new motor, that would include the new 7090 controller and smaller diameter polyurethane cabling.

Just wanted to update this and give a big thanks to Roger. Although the original shaft was not repairable and the motor block needed to be replaced, Roger gave me a great price to fix it and upgraded me to the new motor block and built in controller.

Thanks again Roger. Great company and a great guy to work with.
