1983 Hoover Turbopower motor issue

[vacuumlover]

Was servicing this turbopower and gave the motor a test run before I went rebuilding anything else (motor sounded awful before I even started work so wasn’t holding out much hope)

Just looking for a second opinion on this motor, In my opinion I think it’s burning out (have never actually experienced one doing so in my 25 years of life so am unsure)

I know for sure that the brushes are sparking/arcing waaay too much and it sounds slow to me. Brushes still have life in them, so don’t think it’s those? Bearings have been replaced as well. Brushroll hasn’t got a belt on it either so would be spinning a bit faster than normal.

I didn’t hang around long enough to smell if anything was actually burning either….and I was hidden behind a door haha.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe it is a shorted winding? Good luck whatever it is.
