Hi all,

Just having a look at this machine, not something I'm really into but I've been tasked to fix it and I'm hoping some help here will get me there!

So it is an early 1950s machine with its original motor fitted. This is causing the most problems. In operation it is terribly granuchy, loud and rattly. I've had it apart and there is plenty left on the carbon brushes, I cleaned and oiled before reassembling but it is still the same. Just wondering if there is anything I could try or if the motor is worn and needs replacement.
