yes, As I started in your previous thread, below is an example of a worn carbon brush. These wear down over the many years, and from how you describe it, you should defiantly look into having them replaced. As seen below, this brush has worn down to quite a degree. These brushes should be much longer than below.

if this motor cannot be fixed, Then a new one (or even used!) Will be WAY more worth it then a newer, junky vacuum! CLICK HERE TO GO TO super-sweeper's LINK | ||

try repacking the lower bearing with new good grease and oiling the top bearing. it should work find after. if it worked but slowed down, the bearings need service badly. i had this happen on a 1076 once that i own. if it ran and stopped running and doesnt smell funny when it hums, the field coil is fine.

My 262 slowed down dramatically in use. I found the coil faces were thick with dirt and grease. A good cleanup later and it was running like new. It span freely by hand but when the crap got hot it obviously slowed things down. I did a thread on it, search for hoover 262 under my username. | ||
