Default Help! How do I know if this motor is fried?

Hi gals and guys!
I was given a 1936 Singer 15-91 potted motor a few weeks ago. I read a few(everything I could find, really!) blogs and thought (such a newbie) I could tackle bringing it back to working condition. All the wires were bare and/or broken, so I couldn't test the machine/motor before I started taking it apart to clean. I rewired the lamp without problems; thought I fixed the connecting wires from the motor correctly - they looked like they had been touched before. I cleaned all the old grease and put the motor back together, but when connected to the plug, the light goes on but the motor doesn't work - no sounds, no humming. How/what do I do to find out what is going (not) on with the motor? I'd appreciate any suggestions. All but one are before pictures. Please help!
PS: I had posted this in a thread already started by somebody else, and got one sympathy reply. I started my own thread to get a larger audience.
