Postiepants brought the motor back today and the man at SewLincs can do miracles - it works!
I'm just struggling to get it back in though, as apparently old Bakelite will have expanded, so I'm currently dremelling the shaft bit down. Just need to polish the surfaces I've sanded now then I reckon it'll go in. I just hope it does sew well enough after all this faffing - although I do love tinkering with old machines.
Once I've tested it's sewing capabilities, then I'll give it a better clean up.
