Default Help with Edison belt driven motor please!

OK, I have really messed up now! I am used to working on treadles but, just got an Edison 15-90 Clone. The machine is awesome, the cabinet is pretty, the wires looked good to Dh (electrician) so I plugged it in and ran the machine. All good, but I noted a tiny amount of smoke coming from the motor and figured it was from dust since the whole machine and cabinet was sooo dusty. So, I decided now was the time to figure a motor out, open it up and see if I could clean it up a little.

I got the nuts loose and took off the cover, that was good, then there were two more nuts holding the long screws in place for the other half of the cover, got those off. When I started sliding the other half of the cover off two pieces of square metal and two springs fell out of somewhere before I got a chance to see where and photograph it. I think they came out of the two copper dealy bobs on top but not sure. I have a picture with a q tip sticking in one of the copper dealy bobs and a q tip resting on top of the one of the square metal thingys if someone could tell me where in the world they go back!

I would so appreciate it if anyone can point me to some sort of diagram for this kind of motor too, as I have searched all over and cannot find one. Clueless here!

Freaking because this is the original motor that says Edison on it that came with the machine and I really want to keep it.
