Motor cleaned and bearings greased, I dare say the bearings will most likely fail now I have pulled it all apart, normaly do, they don’t like being messed with, only time will tell.

Armature winding also looks a bit dark compared with the field windings, not surprising though, it’s a hard life being a vacuum motor, running at maximum speed all the time.
