Steph,

I would guess the motor bearings are seized.

Steph,

I would think so... but there are other collectors in your area on here that might be able, those who know better than me about Hoover vacuums, to help you.

Which Senior?

An American Senior could be one the oldest Hoovers.A British senior could be from the 70s.Model or pictures could help.

Are you able to hold the motor armature still and rotate the fan?

If the fan is plastic, it's probably broken or stripped around the shaft. If it's metal, it's entirely possible that it's just loose and needs to be tightened. I'm not familiar with these vacs in particular, and how the fan is secured to the shaft, so...
