Robert, it sounds by your description that you have a late 70's model, made around the time the Olympia One was in production. Correct?
If memory serves right, I believe these earlier CB's first used the same motor in the 1205 & Golden Jubilee, then the larger Super J motor. You could always find a good used Super J motor to install. I would strongly suggest picking up a set of carbon brushes & a armature seating stone, though, considering the age of those motors the carbons will be down to next to nothing now.
One other option you could do, if you want more power, is to buy a Ametek double stage replacement motor. Most vac shop distributors sell Electrolux motor mount kits that include the rubber seal & metal plate to take the place of the original Electrolux motor mount. The Electrolux motor mount can't be used, though, since their motors & motor mounts were a little unique to them, & not industry standard. Sure, doing this would make the vacuum non-original, but if you're not a vacuum collector, & you're just a regular user, I'm sure what you're really concerned with is getting your CB back in working order.
I would also suggest, if you haven't already, that you check the carbon brushes in the motor you already have. It could just need a new set of brushes & a armature seating stone to seat them properly.
Below in the link is a Electrolux replacement motor kit for the plastic body canisters, with Domel motor, mounting plate & seal. This particular mounting plate & seal is what you need. However, I would suggest buying the motor mount & seal separately & using it with a Ametek 116311 motor for TriStar CXL vacuums, Ametek double stage motors are much better quality & longer lasting than Domel's double stage motors.
Best of luck to you.

Thanks for your help on this!
I appreciate your time in helping me with this project. You are correct and I just want a good working vacuum. I see the motor on Amazon. Could you help me with a link to the motor mount and seal.
Thanks brother!

Domel motors
Actually, from what I have seen, Domel motors are as good as, if not better than what Ametek offers. I have several central vacuum power units that use Domel motors and they are very quiet and powerful. Also, my Sanitaire backpack vacuum uses a Domel motor, again, very quiet and powerful.

Fyi, the brown (bronze) CBs would have used the contemporaneous Olympia One 1401, 1401-B or 1505-style motor as they were manufactured from around 1980-83. The motor housing on them is taller than the earlier ones that used G-style or 1205-style motors due to its larger size.
