I goofed!
With a faulty starter button, I had proven the connecting rod between starter button on my '46 2N was worn by touching the negative side of battery directly to starter, resulting in the engine happily cranking right up.
2 weeks later, I was in a rush, and wasn't thinking, and used my default logic (Negative Ground for all other vehicles).. touched the positive to the starter and just made a lot of sparks. Somehow i did not kill my battery before I figured out my mistake.... Okay.. so did I completely burn out my starter?
Can it be rebuilt by me, or is it a total loss? (in other words, which part became the fuse???)
