I've completely dismantled it, cleaned, oiled, examined, and can't see any issue with it. The windings don't seem to be damaged in any way, everything spins very freely and smoothly. When I first got it it was even weaker than it is now, but I still can't get it to 78 rpm.

I'm not sure about these things but I'd guess the fact that it's an old Canadian 25 cycle motor would mean I could probably never get it spinning at the correct speed?



Here's a few images of the beast....
