Yesterday I was given a 15-91. It has lots of attachments, Zigzag, blind stitch, button hole, and a cute Singer gripper that helps hold work pieces, two tubes of motor grease, A Singer oil can, the original manual and attachments. And the bench! S/N AG788723

The hand wheel wouldn't turn, so I read online how to get the motor off. The machine turns, but not the motor. I took off the end cap, the wires of the armature are black and blue, there is black powder in there, and the armature only turns with lots of help. My guess is fry city.
I found a used motor online for $65. I would hate to condemn this machine. Should I get the motor or does anyone have any suggestions?
