Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Jon, that is why I am "thinking" of using one of the Consew motors I have.

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
Ralph,

This is an excellent idea, but it is not plug-n-play.
You need to create a motor mount, and a matching drive pulley as your original pulley will not fit.
You probably can not make it fit

You should remove the motor endcap nearest the brushed, then install the brushes as they were and see what is going on with them.

My other lathe is not running so I cannot turn the commutator.

Re: how to.inspect.motor?
You really should use a non-conductive abrasive. There are special commutator cleaning stones available, lacking one of those, old fashioned flint sandpaper (extra fine) also works.
